Sound: I think this is an excellent CD. I bought it used for like 2 dollars I was like holy crap! How can they sell such a great album for such a low price I would have paid 50 dollars new. I am a huge April Wine fan the only thing I dislike about them is their album Roughly Speaking. That album was crap don't get me started again go read that review see what it got 1.7 out of 10 that's what that got but back to this album...

Sound: If you are an April Wine fan I do not recommend this CD. It sounds nothing like any of there older stuff this stuff is like strictly blues and that's all, there is like no rock to it at all. When I went to there live concert they played one song on this album and it was the only one that didn't make me think what in the world were these guys thinking when they made this album. The songs are sort of repellent if this was the first time I hear April Wine I would hate them...

Here, one can hear the Canadians blatantly attempt to capitalize on the limited commercial success of "Fast Train" from the debut. "You Could Have Been a Lady" fit the band and hit the airwaves, pushing the quartet out of the sophomore slump that almost dissolved April Wine before its time; producer Ralph Murthy provides backup vocals on the reworking of this Hot Chocolate pilferage, which remains a lost electric jewel -- dusty but cool...

About the only thing April Wine's inaugural has going for it is young leader Myles Goodwyn's "Fast Train." Right off, Goodwyn begins the trend of saving the band's Canadian bacon, as the remaining members (all Henmans) wade in stream-of-consciousness nonsense. ("Wench" actually follows hot on the heels of "Song for Mary...

April Wine (like any good wine) got better with age, and the Canadians' brightest moment only arrived over a decade into their career with 1981's The Nature of the Beast. Opener "All Over Town" lurches into action on a lopsided riff before finding its awesome groove, -- a groove they seldom abandon through and to the end of the disc...

Having just released two blockbuster albums in a row (the second of which contained the highest charting single of their career, "Just between You and Me"), April Wine was riding high in the early '80s. So it was quite surprising when their hot streak came to a screeching halt with the release of 1983's terribly humdrum Power Play...

A year after the release of Stand Back, one of April Wine's greatest achievements, they returned with the similar-sounding Whole World's Goin' Crazy. Although the album didn't yield any solid rockers such as "Tonite Is a Wonderful Time" or "Oowatanite" (both from Stand Back ), it does contain one of the band's best ballads in "Like a Lover Like a Song," which also reveals Goodwyn's talent for singing the slow stuff...

After a string of inconsistent albums dotted with promising tracks, April Wine got it together in the album format on 1975's Stand Back. This album found the group hitting a workable balance between pop songcraft and hard rock guitar power and effectively distilling it into a series of tight songs that rock out as they deliver pop hooks a-plenty. It starts on an up note thanks to "Oowatanite," an effectively arranged rocker featuring a fire-alarm sound effect...
