Customer Reviews:
Excellent Release by a Legendary Rocker...........2007-05-02
Aside from "One Chance", pretty much most of the other tracks here are classic songs by the Money Man. My favorite track of the hit list here is "Take Me Home Tonight", which is almost as hard-hitting as "Walk On Water" from 1988's Nothing to Lose release. The latter is also a good album to pick up, and I have a copy of it as well.
Anyway, if any of you are into that hard-driving, 1980s-style, power-ballad rock style of music then I would highly reccommend this album for your media collection. Besides, after getting to hear "One Chance" for the very first time back in 1989 (after getting my first cassette copy of this album), I once had this short-lived inner desire to meet Mr. Eddie Money. But that, of course, is nothing more than wishful thinking.
Until next time, rock on....
Much more than the well-known Top 40 Songs released.......2005-12-14
Eddie Money is a very good and talented vocalist. He has a very distinctive voice and that is a great part of his appeal. However, one thing I feel is a weakness on Money's voice is he doesn't have great diversity in his ranges. I don't feel this is necessarily a knock on Money, but it is just a fact. There are ten songs on "Can't Hold Back" - each of ten songs make good use of fitting Money's unique vocals on them. As for the songs, co-producers Money and Richie Zito deserve the credit for assembling a portfolio of songs that seem to work best. For each of the songs, outside songwriters were brought in. These songwriters might not be the biggest names, but there is some very good music and lyrics that come from them. I also think its valuable that Money contributes to the songwriting of 6 of the 10 tracks - even though he doesn't contribute to the two big hits from the album "I Wanna Go Back" and "Take Me Home Tonight". As mentioned, there is a lot of good music beyond these two singles - and it's a shame that many of these other songs were not released as singles.
Overall I'd classify this album as "Classic 80s" music (the sound of the early 1980s). I hesitate on putting this in the category of Synth Pop because I do feel there is a significant Guitar presence on this album that is prevalent on this album even though there are a lot of use of synthesizers. There are also several places where the use of the saxophone is incorporated into the music. In a lot of ways, Money can attribute a lot of the success of this album due to the fact that the "Classic 80s" sound was still popular during 1986 when this album was released. Following this album, the "Classic 80s" sound would give way to a much more natural sound focused around the guitar. Money would release a 1988 follow-up album called "Nothing to Lose" that despite sounding very similar to "Can't Hold Back" would not be as successful. I believe much of the reason is because by 1988, the music landscape was no longer receptive to that "Classic 80s" sound. I firmly believe that if "Can't Hold Back" would have been released two years later (in 1988) that it probably would have struggled commercially as well.
As mentioned the two big hits from this album are "Take Me Home Tonight" and "I Wanna Go Back". I believe "I Wanna Go Back" is the better of the two songs. "Take Me Home Tonight" is a nice song and Money's vocals are rock-solid, but I don't find it a very deep song. I also think that Ronnie Spector's small contribution "Be my little baby" was blown way out of proportion and is overrated. "I Wanna Go Back" has almost a "St. Elmo's Fire" feel to it. It's a very good song both lyrically and musically. I saw that another reviewer claimed that these are lyrics that many people can relate to - I couldn't agree more. This is exemplified in "What's been done has been done; What's been said has been said"
There are also many other standout tracks. These tracks include: "One Love", "Endless Nights", "One Chance", "We Should Be Sleeping", "Bring on the Rain", and "Stranger in a Strange Land". "We Should Be Sleeping" is probably the best song on the album. It has a great Rock/guitar edge and Money's vocals are right on target. However the best part of the song is the catchy chorus "Don't say bye bye bye baby bye bye" that will have you singing along. "One Chance" has less of a Rock edge and more of a Synth sound, but Money again delivers carrying the song with his most unique vocals and making the lyrics seem real. Overall, there are no bad songs on this album. I'd probably put the title track, "I Wanna Go Back" as the weakest, but even this isn't bad.
The liner notes include all of the lyrics and all of the songwriting credits. The lineup of musicians participating on each song is also listed. There is also a listed of production credits in the liner notes. Overall, this is a very good album - and one that is worth checking out whether you are a serious or casual Eddie Money fan.
An Excellent Moment of Mid-80's.......2003-12-14
Great CD.......2003-02-21
Eddie goes more pop with a great album!.......2002-06-07
1) His biggest hit and an a rock classic. Very pop, but buried beneath the vocals, it still rocks. Should be the Designated Driver theme! 2) Lyrically simple mid-tempo album track with saxophone use. I like this now, but coming between my 2 favorite songs, I used to think it was boring. 3) The next best song, sax driven, but more upbeat. One of those 'stuck in your head' tunes. 4) Another minor pop/rock hit, like #3, but a little more ballad-ish. 5) I can't get into this, sounds uninspired. Very slow, but not a love song.
6) Hardest rocking song on the album, not the most original lyrics, but who cares. Sounds like it could've been on "No Control," but still fits in here. 7) A song about weather, again mid to slow tempo with no "excitement," what was Ed thinking? 8) Part rock, part power ballad; should've been released. 9) Rocking beat, but again not real guitar driven. Not great, but good. 10) Mid-tempo sorta love song, good album closer.
(I hope I haven't taken up anyone's full lunch break by this time) This is one of those CDs that have such good hits that the other songs tend to be overlooked. There's 5 killer songs, 3 pretty good, and only "One Chance" and "Bring On the Rain" are like elevator music (well, not quite).
Eddie's next album "Nothing to Lose" sounds alot like this one, even though it only had 2 hits, it was strong overall, a little more soft pop/rock based, but with a couple harder songs.

It's impossible for me to list highlights, because every song is truly remarkable. "Can't Hold Back" is one of the best investments you'll ever make; a rare and precious treasure indeed! (Also recommended: their "Best Of" package. Not as good as this one, but still worthy of 4 stars.)

The next two PPL releases with Vince further developed the new sound and contain stronger songs. And the guys were rewarded with 3 hits too.

"Mrs. Superficial" is the only one I don't like. Doesn't fit with the rest of the set. Otherwise, it would have 5 stars from me.
