Japan Bonus Tracks:
I have to admit, I hadn't been listening to Richard Marx for awhile, until a friend of mine reintroduced me to his incredible sound by playing his music over and over when I was around. I had almost forgot how amazing a singer/songwriter this guy was! After I got reacquainted I had to get Days In Avalon. This album is just as wonderful, if not more so, than all of his earlier stuff. The songs range from the slow love ballads like "One More Time" to the more upbeat, positive songs like "Too Early to Be Over." The music is good, but the lyrics are even better. I have listened to it over and over since I got it and it just keeps getting better every time. My favorite songs are "Days In Avalon," "Almost Everything," "Someone Special," "Power of You and Me," "The Boy Next Door" (I always was a "Hazard" fan), "Too Early to Be Over," and "Straight from My Heart" (very country!) In conclusion, I recommend this album for anyone looking for good westcoast pop rock :) music written by a truly underrated and talented man.
For those of you that have followed his career from the start will be quite used to his style and know what to expect from a Richard Marx-album. You won’t be disappointed with this one. 12 new original songs partly co-written by his old partners in crime Fee Waybill (Tubes) and Bruce Gaitch. He has matured as a songwriter and his voice sounds better than ever. This is a more laidback album than the previous ones. We who have listened to Richard Marx for many years know that there are much more to his music than just ballads. Now when he has formed his own label and no one tells him what to do he gives us his most personal album to date. Pure Music, Pure Pleasure.
