5 out of 5 stars A Very Underated Album.......2006-12-21

"Another Page" was Christopher Cross' second album was released in 1983. The album was on the charts through 1984 and spawned three hits, all of which hit the top-40: "All Right" (#18 - 1983), "No Time For Talk" (#33 - 1983), "Think of Laura" (#9 - 1984). Despite this, the album only went gold, a stark contrast from his 5-grammy debut album, released three years earlier.

Contained within this album are a number of phenomenal musicians: Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Don Henley of the Eagles, Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers, not to mention Art Garfunkel, a duet with Karla Bonoff and three members from the group Toto: Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather, and Mike Porcaro. Michael Omartian, a kingpin in Contemporary Christian music, produced the album, as well as tinkling the ivories on a few numbers.

Of the hits, "Think of Laura" was made popular when the soap opera General Hospital used it when the character Laura died. In all actuality, it was written in memory of a friend of Christopher Cross' who died in a car accident.

The other two hits were definitely backed up by Toto (though I cannot prove this), which is one of my favorite groups. Toto did a lot of studio work prior to their debut in 1977. Even after their success of "Toto IV" (they were the major grammy winners the following year - 1982), they continued to do studio work, most notably being the back-up band for Michael Jackson's chart-topping "Thriller" album. If you're as familiar with their work as I am, Toto's style is impreccably recognizable - in fact, Steve Lukather is given credit for his guitar solo in "All Right."

I want to take some time to take about "No Time For Talk." This tune is one of the most incredibly, creatively written of any pop tune that I've listened to. The entire verse is built entirely on three notes. The intro, which contains those three notes repeats itself with the '80's big synth sound and an expanded bass line. When you listen to verse one, you probably won't catch the similarity. Then there's verse two, which is entirely different as the musicians use substitute chords to add variety. It all comes to a head in verse three when the synth returns and one realizes - "that was the intro" - how cool!

As if that's not enough, listen to the drums. I'm 99% sure that it's Jeff Porcaro - it's just too good. His playing sounds so simple, yet he's accenting at just the right places - it is purely amazing. Did I mention the instrumental - very complex chord changes. If anything, buy the album for this song. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Of the ten tunes on the album, seven are ballads. All of them have very memorable melodies and are beautifully orchestrated. Most notable are "Words of Wisdom," which has an amazing guitar solo done by the Cross himself, and "What Am I Supposed to Believe," a gorgeous duet with pop singer Karla Bonoff.

Most critics agree that "Another Page" contained some great material - so what went wrong? It's hard to say. Growing up in the 1980's, the big artists of 1983 were "Thriller" and Billy Joel's "An Innocent Man," both of which had six releases each. His music's not quite as progressive as theirs was, yet it certainly is more interesting than some of the stuff that came out that year. Could it have been MTV? History shows that it separated Peter Cetera from Chicago - perhaps he didn't fit the "rock" image. Another ballad artist that lost during this same time was Barry Manilow; yet, Elton John still retained his popularity well into the mid-1990's.

Who knows what went wrong. History does prove that despite his 1985 and 1988 releases, he never made it back into the top-40. If you've read this review and are thinking about purchasing some of his music, this album is worth the money spent. You won't be disappointed!

1 out of 5 stars A Classic.......2006-07-05

I love this album. I originally had it in cassette format but had to buy it again in CD format because it's so good and such a classic reflection of Christopher Cross' songwriting. He's got those pretty melodies he's known for, along with his distinctive voice, and some great backup vocalists too. Also, if you get a chance, see him in concert!!!

4 out of 5 stars Soft rock deluxe.......2006-03-03

I've been reading the reviews on this Christopher Cross release. This is largely a collection of ballads, with a few upbeat pop performances thrown in. I don't understand the criticisms of this being a ballad album. Why criticize the tempo of the music? Just give an opinion of this on the music for what is it, and not what it isn't.

I was also confused on the criticisms of "What Am I Supposed to Believe", a duet with Karla Bonoff. What is the sappiness that some of these reviewers are referring to - the lyrics? That song is the primary reason I bought this. It is, in my estimation, one of the best ballads Cross has EVER done. The soft piano and the matchup of the vocals made this one of the most enchanting songs I've heard. Lyrically speaking, haven't most of us had questions about a new relationship after having been disappointed in an old one? This should therefore be a song that audience can relate to. The piano and strings match the mood perfectly. So that's my two cents on that particular track.

"All Right" and "Think Of Laura" should be the two songs on here we recognize before getting the disc. The latter was a tribute to a departed friend that was played on a number of television soaps and informercials.

I agree with most of the favorable reviews of this. I am mostly a heavy metal listener, but for those more mellow moments, this serves well.

5 out of 5 stars fantastic ballads.......2005-09-20

You won't really find a more mellow pop music album out there. Virtually all the tracks are melodic ballads and are really mellow. This suits Cross's voice perfectly and the ballads have enough variety in each of them, not to cause repetition.
If you are after ballads, you will absolutely love this album.
All the tracks are excellent, but the best song is the heart wrenching 'think of laura'. Listen to this and it is bound to touch you, if you are a sensitive person. The melody and meaning behind this song are exceptional.
'Long world' is absolutely beautiful. Also highlights are the beautiful 'nature of the game' and 'takling in my sleep.'

All the songs are incredible. If you like Cross's sound, but are yet to hear this album, I guarantee you can't go far wrong.
