5 out of 5 stars Just a damn good album.......2006-04-08

Just A Game (1979.) The third Triumph studio album.

INTRODUCTION:
Triumph. The Canadian hard rock trio is definitely one of the ultimate bands to ever emerge from the northern nation. Despite not being as popular as many of the other bands of their era, the group's music is some of the finest rock and roll ever created. Although the band's first two records, Triumph and Rock And Roll Machine, were both excellent, they did little to get the attention of music fans outside of the band's native land. This all changed with the release of the band's 1979 third album, Just A Game. Lay It On The Line, one of the album's cuts, became the band's first and biggest hit. The album won the band critical acclaim from a greater audience than ever before, and they were now on their way to stardom! So, how is the album? Read on for my review of Just A Game.

OVERVIEW:
Triumph released their third album, Just A Game, in 1979. The band consisted of its usual classic lineup of guitarist Rik Emmett, drummer Gil Moore, and bassist Mike Levine. The band members produced the album themselves. Attic Records released the album. Tracklist for the record consists of Movin' On, Lay It On The Like, Young Enough To Cry, American Girls, Just A Game, Fantasy Serenade, Hold On, and Suitcase Blues.

REVIEW:
There's a reason this is the album that was Triumph's first commercial success - the album is AWESOME! For the first time the band was making an impact on the musical world on a large scale. The band's classic hard rock stylings were making the international breakthrough the group had always dreamed of, at long last! And the band's commercial appeal would only grow larger into the next decade. Of course, after this, many would claim the band "changed with the times" too much. As such, this is often revered as the band's finest effort. Read on for my review of Just A Game.

-SIDE A-

-Movin' On (Moore):
Vintage classic hard rock. This track was an excellent way to start the album off. Everything you could want in a classic, fun-to-listen-to rock tune is here. The first track on the album should be one that will keep the listener interested, and this one does just that, sure enough.

-Lay It On The Line (Moore):
Triumph's first and biggest hit, and the song that gave this album its godlike status among classic rock albums. With awesome guitar playing, this is a song that is hard enough for the hard rock crowd, but appealing enough for the pop rock crowd. It's the best of all worlds, rolled into a single song. One of the greatest songs ever recorded. Period.

-Young Enough To Cry (Moore):
Extremely gloomy, hard and heavy. This is hard, depressing rock with a bluesy touch. At many times, the song brings Aerosmith's seventies stuff to mind. Pretty much everything I love about classic hard rock, this song has. One of my all-time favorite Triumph songs, as well as one of the band's most underrated.

-American Girls (Moore):
Here's another one of those tunes like Lay It On The Line, which takes the perfect sound that combines elements of hard rock and pop rock. What results is another song hard enough for the hard rock, but at the same time, appealing enough for the pop rock crowds. Excellent stuff. Too bad it didn't become a big hit like the aforementioned song.

-SIDE B-

-Just A Game (Emmett): The album's title track is, not surprisingly, an excellent song. Here the band slows down the musical pace a bit, creating something that is more on the side of melodic rock. It's still got plenty of fast-paced guitar and some nice hard rock elements, but it's more on the melodic side than some of the other stuff on here. Nonetheless, it's a damn good song, and definitely one of my favorites on here.

-Fantasy Serenade (Emmett):
Basically, this is a short acoustic session. The piece is very melodic and beautiful, definitely a far cry from the hard rock that dominates the rest of the album. Unfortunately, the piece is very short, and as a result, underdeveloped in comparison to the other tracks here. It's still damn good though.

-Hold On (Emmett):
This is another melodic piece. And it's another great one, too. Very slow and peaceful in its execution, the song bares somewhat of a resemblance to the band's later hit, Magic Power, in many ways. It's a nice, peaceful tune, though not without its moments that rock. Awesome song.

-Suitcase Blues (Emmett):
The album's closing tune is one of its more irregular and more unique pieces. It's a more traditional, bluesy song. This sounds nothing like any of the other songs on the album, and yet, somehow, it works. It's irregularity and uniqueness make it a very unique song, and a nice album closer.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a damn good Triumph album - arguably the band's finest work. The band rocks from start to finish on this one, serving up a diverse and excellent mixture of sounds all the way through. Gil, Mike, and Rik rule on this album. It's very much arguable that no album the band did equals this one in terms of sheer quality. If you're at all a fan of classic rock, DO NOT be without this album. If you're only gonna buy one Triumph album, this is probably the best choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

EDITION NOTES:
Like most Triumph albums, this one was recently reissued and remastered in America. These reissues are quite abundant in the States, and I'm glad to see these classic albums are widely available again. I just wish they had included bonus content on the albums. Other than that, no complaints with the reissues.

5 out of 5 stars A Band Made for a "Greatest Hits".......2006-02-22

4 1/2 really. While Triumph was able to write great songs, this is their only release that sounds good from beginning to end. Lay It On The Line, Just A Game, & Suitcase Blues have to be on any release that calls itself a "Best of."

The sweet, jazzy Suitcase Blues ranks among my favorite Triumph song and many times have I walked around with its melody and lyrics swimming through my head.

Take a few songs from each of their albums, place then on a double CD and you've got early 80s perfection. Before arthritis killed my "rock star" future, I played several Triumph songs on guitar and enjoyed each one of them.

Buy it NOW!

5 out of 5 stars The breakthrough of Canada's other great hard rock export.......2005-12-02

Triumph's third album Just a Game was originally released in 1979 on RCA.
The original album had a tinny sound but then MCA issued a better sounding version in 1985 and then Triumph reissued it on their own label TRC which is an independent label here in the US in 1995 complete with the original artwork and TML(was TRC) re-issued it with a NEW REMASTER and full artwork in 2005.
Just a Game introduced us Americans to Triumph which consisted of Gil Moore(drums, vocals), Mike Levine(bass) and the great Rik Emmitt(guitars and vocals). It wasn't until 1999 that I first heard this album on CD and then bought the reissue and it's well worth the price of admission, so to speak especially for the album's rock radio staples Hold On(which was the band's first US Top 40 hit) and the classic Lay It On The Line.
However, there is more to Triumph's 1979 breakthrough than the two aforementioned classic rock radio staples. Moving On and American Girls are two of Gil Moore's best vocals ever which appear on this album, his blues influenced vocals are a great counterpoint to Rik's searing tenor. The title cut and the closing Suitcase Blues are some of Rik's finest hour as a musician and songwriter. The latter sounds like a song that you could drink a good drink to when your woman leaves you for another man without notifying you.
Unfortunately Rik, Gil and Mike were overshadowed by Geddy, Neil and Alex a/k/a the other infamous power trio Rush whom are the greatest and most successful Canadian rock band in history.
Who would have thought Canada wasn't big enough for two amazing power trios is nuts as both Triumph and Rush are great bands.

5 out of 5 stars Just A Game and growing up........2005-08-03

I was 15 years old and K-SHE 95 in St. Louis played Lay It On The Line. From that moment on I became a devoted fan for life. I ran out on my bicycle down to Cricket Records and bought the vinyl album with my allowance. Loved the game board on the inside of the album but most importantly, the music. It spoke to me and I can tell you that Triumph made great music throughout their career but never as good as they did on Just A Game.

Best songs: Young Enough To Cry, Just A Game, Lay It On The Line, Hold On and American Girls.

Anyone who is not all that familar with Triumph should buy this album first. This is the benchmark for everything that followed and the 2 albums before this one.

Commercially, Allied Forces was their big breakthrough and most successful album. Just A Game is the blue print for Allied Forces. First times a charm in this case.

This album reminds me of being 15 and getting turned on to the most explosive guitar and vocals, bass and drum attack I'd ever heard.

Anyone hesitating to buy this album should not think twice. Buy it now!

5 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Introduction to Igor Stravinsky!!.......2004-05-19

Sony Music's "The Essential Igor Stravinsky" truly lives up to its title. This double-CD set includes nearly every important piece of work (either in part or in whole) by the great Russian composer. The set also presents the pieces in chronological order beginning in 1908 with "Fireworks" and ending in 1966 with his final piece, the short but simple "Owl and The Pussycat". In between, there are excerpts from Stravinsky's most famous works including the first part of "The Rite Of Spring" and highlights from the "Firebird" and "Petrushka" ballets. There are also lesser-known works included as well as his harmonically rearranged version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (a rendition which caused a stir in the early 1940's). The entire collection concludes with a rare recorded interview with Igor Stravinsky himself in which he remembers the infamous premere of "The Rite Of Spring".
The CD booklet includes detailed liner notes as well as a written tribute by Trey Anastasio of the band Phish. The sound quality of the recordings is amazing (even on the historic 1934 recording of "Piano Rag Music"). All in all, this an excellent collection of works by the great Igor Stravinsky. In a sense, this compilation gives the composer the 'rock musician' treatment. It's a 'greatest hits' album and a career-spanning retrospective that serves as an ideal introduction to Igor's music. Even if your not a fan of Classical music, it isn't difficult to listen to the works of Stravinsky and not be stirred.
Definitely The Essential Igor Stravinsky!!!

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.

5 out of 5 stars Another classic!.......2006-05-04

This was indeed a very good listen back in the day and the newly remastered one is true to form. The songs and sound are all top notch. Tunes like American Girls, Lay It On The line and Just A game are highlights on this great offering, ah hell they all sound good!!

Triumph was on a roll with their first 3 releases and up here in Canada, they were giving Rush (another fantastic Canadian band) a run for their money back then. Triumph has long since passed on since from their heydays in the late 70's early 80's. Rush continues to rock as strong as ever and hopefully will for some time to come. The beginning of the end for Triumph was in the mid 80's when record sales dipped as their quality dropped. After a few sub par 80's releases, Rik Emmett decided to go the solo route and has seen some success, but nothing like he did when Triumph was riding high.

Triumph had their day and this cd represents what they had to offer back then. All in all a great rock & roll album and a must have for any true classic rock fan.

5 out of 5 stars The classic breakthrough album from the legendary Canadian rockers.......2006-04-13

Just A Game (1979.) The third Triumph studio album.

INTRODUCTION:
Triumph. The Canadian hard rock trio is definitely one of the ultimate bands to ever emerge from the northern nation. Despite not being as popular as many of the other bands of their era, the group's music is some of the finest rock and roll ever created. Although the band's first two records, Triumph and Rock And Roll Machine, were both excellent, they did little to get the attention of music fans outside of the band's native land. This all changed with the release of the band's 1979 third album, Just A Game. Lay It On The Line, one of the album's cuts, became the band's first and biggest hit. The album won the band critical acclaim from a greater audience than ever before, and they were now on their way to stardom! So, how is the album? Read on for my review of Just A Game.

OVERVIEW:
Triumph released their third album, Just A Game, in 1979. The band consisted of its usual classic lineup of guitarist Rik Emmett, drummer Gil Moore, and bassist Mike Levine. The band members produced the album themselves. Attic Records released the album.

There's a reason this is the album that was Triumph's first commercial success - the album is AWESOME! For the first time the band was making an impact on the musical world on a large scale. The band's classic hard rock stylings were making the international breakthrough the group had always dreamed of, at long last! And the band's commercial appeal would only grow larger into the next decade. Of course, after this, many would claim the band "changed with the times" too much. As such, this is often revered as the band's finest effort. Read on for my review of Just A Game.

-SIDE A-

-Movin' On (Moore):
Vintage classic hard rock. This track was an excellent way to start the album off. Everything you could want in a classic, fun-to-listen-to rock tune is here. The first track on the album should be one that will keep the listener interested, and this one does just that, sure enough.

-Lay It On The Line (Moore):
Triumph's first and biggest hit, and the song that gave this album its godlike status among classic rock albums. With awesome guitar playing, this is a song that is hard enough for the hard rock crowd, but appealing enough for the pop rock crowd. It's the best of all worlds, rolled into a single song. One of the greatest songs ever recorded. Period.

-Young Enough To Cry (Moore):
Extremely gloomy, hard and heavy. This is hard, depressing rock with a bluesy touch. At many times, the song brings Aerosmith's seventies stuff to mind. Pretty much everything I love about classic hard rock, this song has. One of my all-time favorite Triumph songs, as well as one of the band's most underrated.

-American Girls (Moore):
Here's another one of those tunes like Lay It On The Line, which takes the perfect sound that combines elements of hard rock and pop rock. What results is another song hard enough for the hard rock, but at the same time, appealing enough for the pop rock crowds. Excellent stuff. Too bad it didn't become a big hit like the aforementioned song.

-SIDE B-

-Just A Game (Emmett): The album's title track is, not surprisingly, an excellent song. Here the band slows down the musical pace a bit, creating something that is more on the side of melodic rock. It's still got plenty of fast-paced guitar and some nice hard rock elements, but it's more on the melodic side than some of the other stuff on here. Nonetheless, it's a damn good song, and definitely one of my favorites on here.

-Fantasy Serenade (Emmett):
Basically, this is a short acoustic session. The piece is very melodic and beautiful, definitely a far cry from the hard rock that dominates the rest of the album. Unfortunately, the piece is very short, and as a result, underdeveloped in comparison to the other tracks here. It's still damn good though.

-Hold On (Emmett):
This is another melodic piece. And it's another great one, too. Very slow and peaceful in its execution, the song bares somewhat of a resemblance to the band's later hit, Magic Power, in many ways. It's a nice, peaceful tune, though not without its moments that rock. Awesome song.

-Suitcase Blues (Emmett):
The album's closing tune is one of its more irregular and more unique pieces. It's a more traditional, bluesy song. This sounds nothing like any of the other songs on the album, and yet, somehow, it works. It's irregularity and uniqueness make it a very unique song, and a nice album closer.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a damn good Triumph album - arguably the band's finest work. The band rocks from start to finish on this one, serving up a diverse and excellent mixture of sounds all the way through. Gil, Mike, and Rik rule on this album. It's very much arguable that no album the band did equals this one in terms of sheer quality. If you're at all a fan of classic rock, DO NOT be without this album. If you're only gonna buy one Triumph album, this is probably the best choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

EDITION NOTES:
Like most Triumph albums, this one was recently reissued and remastered in America. These reissues are quite abundant in the States, and I'm glad to see these classic albums are widely available again. I just wish they had included bonus content on the albums. Other than that, no complaints with the reissues.

5 out of 5 stars Triumph's First Classic Album.......2004-06-30

JUST A GAME is Triumph's first classic album. It contains such great inspirational songs as "Movin' On" and "Hold On." A few songs are not so great, but the highlights are enough to make this a five-star CD.

4 out of 5 stars A few songs make it a four.......2003-12-27

I got hooked on Triumph with the american version of Rock n Roll Machine right when it came out in the late 70's. Rik's speed guitar work was perfect for someone just finding his tastes were more suited to harder rock.
"Just a Game" wasn't purchased until five years later. I was out of high school and older, wiser, and totally into heavy metal. There was a side of me that appreciated blues, and although at the time I loved the brutal, savage sounds of metal, this album grew on me.
"Lay it on the Line" was familiar, it had been on the airwaves earlier, we all liked it alot. It still plays well. The real treat is in the title track (Just a Game)and "Suitcase Blues". As a young Sailor I was often far from my family and friends and "Suitcase Blues" really hit home. The vocals are great, the words painting a picture of loneliness and using alcohol to drown it. "Fantasy Serenade" is a terrific acoustic song that leads perfectly into "Hold On", a really nice song about how music changes lives. The clunkers are "American Girl" and the dreadful "Young enough to cry"
Once you put aside the poor songs, the brillance of the rest of this CD shines through. It is very good, well worth 10 bucks.

4 out of 5 stars good rock & roll.......2003-11-08

not my favorite triumph album, but 4 or 5 really great songs, love the guitar work.I think it was their last great album, still love their 1st album best, (24 hours a day) but buy far this is a great album to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Classic late 70s rock.......2006-07-29

By 79, Toronto power trio Triumph had more than established themselves as credible rivals to that other big local trio, Rush. Their cover of Rocky Mountain Way was just as good, if not better, than any other version.

But with this LP, they really sealed it. Lay it on the line, in my view, belongs up there in the same patheon as Laila and other great rock anthems. The passion, and Levine's powerful drumming, drives it all home as much now as then.

Okay, Too Young to Cry may owe a lot to Led Zep but this is first class imitation. Was great to hear the title track again, (brings to mind such tracks as the Who's Success Story from By Numbers, thematically anyway.) And Hold On is almost as great as Line. The closing track even showed a mellow side.

I think Game belongs with Dire Straits, Breakfast in America and Look Sharp among 79s classic albums.

4 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

1 out of 5 stars A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

      5 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection of show tunes ........1998-12-06

      Lost in Boston II is the second group of songs that have been put on an album that were cut from well known musicals. It is better than the first Lost in Boston- only because the songs collected here have nary a loser(okay,"It Was Always You" from Applause sounds like a theme from a 70's Tv show- but it's still tuneful and endearing).Some listeners may be familair with some of these songs from the Ben Bagley compilations, but for me many were complete revelations. For example, I had heard only negative things about the score to Grand Hotel- then I played the showstopper cut from the show called" Flaemmchen the Flame Girl" - and I now would like to hear what was not cut! The same applies to the team of Jones and Schmidt. When I heard the gorgeous song, "Thousands of Flowers" I immediately went to buy the final score of "I Do I Do"... The first two Lost in Bostons confirmed how underrated this song team truly is. The liner notes are informative and to the point but as with all good stuff, they leave you wanting more.Don't miss this CD. It is better than many complete Broadway musical scores!
