On their second collaboration outside of Damn Yankees (the first being 1995's HALLUCINATION), guitarist Tommy Shaw (Styx) and vocalist/bassist Jack Blades (Night Ranger) offer up an all-covers set of tunes from the '60s and '70s. While the duo hews closely to the original songs on some tracks (see the straightforward version of the Zombies' "Time of the Season"), Shaw and Blades get more adventurous on other numbers, particularly the amped-up take on Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock," making for an enjoyable collection of rock chestnuts aimed at an older hair-metal crowd.

Influence
$9.69
The only album Styx's Tommy Shaw and Nightranger's Jack Blades made together in their avatar as the short-lived would-be-super duo Shaw Blades. Pity, because Hallucination is a neat little package that recalls, in about equal measure, Styx's radio-friendly balladry and the soaring, melodic powerplay of Damn Yankees, of which group, too, Blades and Shaw were alumni. (In fact, Hallucination is very nearly a Damn Yankees reunion, featuring, as it does, Yankees drummer Michael Cortellone as guest percussionist on some tracks). This is a mainstream pop/rock album in the best way possible, big on hooks and melodies that grab hold first time around and don't let go. Producer Don Gehman (R.E.M., John Mellencamp) crafts a crisp sound, lush with the duo's harmonies and brimming with hints of country rock and the kind of adult contemporary shine that someone like Richard Marx would give his right arm for. No rough edges or surprises here, and damned if Shaw and Blades don't make that sound ...
| | Rush Snakes & Arrows CD (2007)
Influence
$11.25
In the five years since their last full studio album, a covers EP (2004's FEEDBACK) and two live releases (2003's RUSH IN RIO and 2005's R30) hardly sated the throngs of Rush fans hungry for new music. SNAKES & ARROWS is all they could have possibly hoped for and dreamed about. The brash, contemporary vibe of 2002's VAPOR TRAILS has been shed as the trio returns to the polished production and complex arrangements of their most beloved works.
Woven into the later-era Rush song stylings are no less than three instrumentals: "The Main Monkey Business" (a hard rocking full-band ...
