The Canadian band has sold more than 10 million albums , with a lot of awards in the US, and that is and that is mostly due to four albums released in the first half of the eighties! They are listed as one of the most prosperous touring acts in the world, which of cause prerequisites that they tour in big nations. They have had a short hiatus, but in 2005 they celebrated 25 years together etc. They returned to making albums in 2007, with \u201cJust Getting Started\u201d, and now this one. But this one is not quite new, not since more than half of the songs are old favorites in slightly reworked versions. <\/p>\n<p>When you are through the first three tracks, you\u00b4re done with the new songs. The title track has a nice enough riff and great pace, but the refrain and the rather odd keys hamper the whole affair.  I prefer \u201cNo Tomorrow\u201d with its JOHN WAITE storytelling mood, a better refrain and a general feeling of a more modern song. \u201cHeartbreaker\u201d is more in line with the opener, and I must confess to finding quite a few songs somewhat old in style. My favorite moments are \u201cLoving Every Minute of It\u201d, \u201cAlways on My Mind\u201d and \u201cQueen of the Broken Heart\u201d. They all go well with the general feeling of the early eighties, they all rock and are quite groovy, apart from the cozy ballad-esque mid-paced \u201cAlways on My Mind\u201d. The rest are too seventies or too outdated to my liking\u2026but an amazing lot of people living in Canada and the US tell me I\u00b4m wrong on this one\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nRock\u00b4n\u00b4Roll Revival<br \/>\nNo Tomorrow<br \/>\nHeartbreaker<br \/>\nTurn Me Loose<br \/>\nWorking for the Weekend<br \/>\nLovin\u00b4 Every Minute of It<br \/>\nThe Kid Is Hot Tonight<br \/>\nLucky Ones<br \/>\nAlways on My Mind<br \/>\nQuuen of the Broken Heart<br \/>\nWhen It\u00b4s Over<br \/>\nHot Girls in Love<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/loverboyband<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/BAM LOVERBOY might not mean a lot to people today, at least not here in Scandinavia, but the States is another place.
