This is without a doubt America's most controversial album. Released in 1984, it features the splashy, heavily-produced, electronic pop sound then in vogue. For a group which made its name in the seventies with acoustic-flavored hits, this was definitely a bold attempt to try a new sound. And yet it works. If any artist could make the sounds of the eighties come together in a seamless, sophisticated manner, it was America. The woefully underrated "Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullaby" ranks as one of their finest recordings. Other tracks like "5th Avenue", "We Got All Night", "Special Girl", and the reggae-inspired "Lady With A Bluebird" all merit attention. If you want to hear one of the better soft-pop albums of mid-1980s, this is it.
Great Production..good songs..... May 15, 1999

America derserves enormous credit for trying to make a record that is in vogue for the time in which it was done. The album is like many that came during that name...perhaps "overproduced". The songs are good, however I prefer Gerry and Dewey writing their own material..as they are both excellent songwriters..It's a good album it's just not one of their best..Keep in mind that sometimes the record company dictates direction...not neccesarirly the band....Highlights include "Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullabye" and "We've Got It All Night"... This album is solid proof that Ameirca is a group with staying power that can adapt to the times... even the times aren't neccesarily worth adapting too as in the case with the 80's.

Overall I would have to say this was probably America's weakest studio album. They abandon their trademark accoustic sound in favor of an 80's techno-pop sound. Gerry Beckley's songs are good, but it doesn't work with Dewey Bunnell's style. The album produced two minor hits in 1984: Special Girl and Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullabye. Best tracks are Stereo, Cinderella, and 5th Avenue. Only recommended for serious America fans.
Just doesn't sound like America September 27, 2000

Released in 1984, this would be America's last studio album for a decade. America uses a hodge-podge of producers and abandons their trademark acoustic-based pop/rock. While it works on some of the songs, I think there are more misses than hits on this album. It produced two minor hits, Special Girl and Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullaby. Best songs are Stereo, We Got All Night, and Cinderella. This is probably America's weakest effort.
