This is how it all started... first time in love and then "Always be together" on the radio (yes they used to play this then...). I guess they originally wanted to sound more bombastic, something Styx-like with walls of synthis. You can hear it on songs like "Family Man" which make the album more than a mere "sunshine record". Justt listen to the piano part in "Runnin'" and you'll know what I'm driving at. Overall a treat to listen to, not just because of the hits "Love will find a way" and "I go to Rio". Still well worth having!
When I orignanlly heard it in 1978 it was such a fresh break from the Heavy Medal and Disco that was out there.
This album is a great listen all the way through. Dave Jenkins does a great job with vocals on "Love Will Find A Way", "Don't Want To Live Without It", and "I Go To Rio". This is one of those rare cds that you can listen to from start to finish without pressing a button to skip a song. The lyrics may not be the deepest, but it's a good ride on the ship Pablo Cruise.
This was definitely not early Cruise, despite what somebody above said about it being where it all started, though this album is quite good, nonetheless. I grew up in San Rafael, Ca., and enjoyed Pablo immensely during high school (graduated in '76) and college (graduated in '80). This was Marin County, Ca., and my two favorite Marin bands were Pablo and the Sons Of Champlin. I would say that Pablo's first three albums are where it all started -- so I don't know why they are missing from the list here. For me, "Worlds Away" marks the beginning of the latter Pablo. Props to those of you responsible for this site. I grew up on a lot of the sounds Scandanavians and Japanese refer to as "AOR," so I just eat this stuff up. My fellow countrymen have no idea what this category means, but I do. Many thanks.
This is a cool laid-back album. Whether it's listening at the beach Summer of '78 or 2007 or whenever it's a breezy album that flows but with substance not fluff. Lot of good songs but my favorite is "Sailing To Paradise!" I first heard this on the jukebox at a neat mexican resteraunt I use to bus tables for. I always thought it was a nice song with a haunting tropical island feel!
