Customer Reviews:

A little research, please..........2006-07-29

Folks, just a little research (yes, picking nits here) will reveal that Billy Greer did not join Kansas until *AFTER* Streets (he was not a "Kansas bandmate" of Steve Walsh when Streets was formed). Before that, Dave Hope was the bassist for Kansas. But, 20 years later, Billy is still playing w/ Kansas.

I always thought Streets was good, but seemed to try to hard to be commercially successful (the "rock star" trap). But then, I'm not as much of a die-hard music fan as many of the other reviewers here seem to be, so no real "in depth" analysis here.

Another reason why obscure music is the best.......2006-06-25

I remember Huey Lewis once said that the less popular stuff is always the best, and I think he was right! I bought this CD after listening to a sample from one song somewhere, and because I'm such an Atlantic Records fanatic. This is a really great album! I really like it alot! Lots of great AOR music! It's like a cross between Survivor (Jimi Jamison-era in particular) and Journey. Definately worth checking out!

good record but not as good as the first.......2004-08-20

crimes in mind is good,it seems to be a little bit
different mix than the first one,like the guitar solos
are a bit tucked in the mix,the first record seem to be
more of the guitar and vocals,but this record has good
songs on it,and its a rocker,but the first one is the best,
I will still give this one 5 stars because streets rock.

Steve Walsh is my favorite singer.......2004-07-12

I own both Streets albums on lp and they are both damn good; very few low points. Like other reviewers said compares with Loverboy and Foreigner (who ,though entertaining, are not as talented as these musicians.) if you like 80's Foreigner, Loverboy, Reo Speedsnorter, etc, with a little more pizzaz and Van Halen guitar solos, you'll like Streets. ( 1st gets 4 stars; Crimes in Mind gets 5- It should have been promoted more).I'm gettin ready to order the King Biscuit flower hour album and I don't normally buy live albums but I think it's worth it.

Top 30 all-time classic finally on CD.......2003-09-17

Something of a minor supergroup in AOR circles this has to be one of the most talented bands ever formed. The nucleus of the band was Steve Walsh (ex-Kansas), who teamed up with Englishman Mike Slamer (previously with UK AOR/Pop sensations City Boy) who had moved to the States to further his aspirations. The debut Streets album was a good solid effort, produced by Neil Kernon, but it was this one that took the band to another level altogether. The songs on this CD are more dynamic and compare very favourably to material released around the same time by quality acts such as Foreigner....

The mood is set with a classic AOR opener 'Don't Look Back', which pulses along in great style, followed up by 'The Nightmare Begins' a hauntingly atmospheric track replete with a huge refrain... Steve Walsh really stamps his authority on 'Broken Glass' while Slamer gets an opportunity to shred on 'Hit 'n' Run'with some outstanding guitar threatricals. All the album's tracks display extreme melodic sensibilities, like 'Gun Runner', 'Crimes In Mind' and the humourous 'Rat Race'.

But it was not to be; Streets as a band weren't the commercial success Atlantic were hoping for, and it wasn't long after that Walsh returned to Kansas taking Greer with him, while Slamer turned his hand to production. Bassist Tim Gehrt played with a couple of christian rock projects, Joshua's fantastic 'Intense Defence' being the most notable. I'm sure this album will be on most AOR collectors lists..I'm replacing my vinyl copy pronto..
