Empires

This has been a record hard to find, now i own it :-D
Jimi Jamison has a very special 'aor' fantastic voice and quality of his songs ranks at top.
Cry tough and empires are between my favourites. the duet with Lisa Fraizer is outstanding. The rest is nice melodies.

empires may crumble, love will remain
constant and timeless, the endless refrain
empires may crumble, into the sea

I am always here is also the 'baywatch song'.

A plus is it has four bonus songs, 3 survivor covers and a last studio one. That is positive so potential buyers enjoy.

8/10 nice to have

survivor hits

Well, this one is a greatest hits ...
Eye of the tiger, burning heart, do not need any review ... hard rock classics.
The band did not do anything more? ... Wrong! A few pearls were hidden, since these 2 diamonds really shone very much.
The search is over, is this love, high on you, i can't hold back -I was stuck in this one for a couple of weeks, i found it really perfect (the video was funny, by the way)-, american heartbeat, and the song from karate kid, the moment of truth.
In a universe where Journey and Foreigner were the kings of ballads, the real good ballads, Survivor managed themselves to remain in history with 4 or 5 good records in which there was always a couple of pearls in each, at least.
Not to miss the videos too, some funny enough.

Maybe it is not the best greatest hits I would recommend but I do recommend at least having one of it. One Survivor record is absolutely indispensable in a your precious discography ;-)

9/10 indispensable
