Our Take

Eric Carmen's self-titled album is like a musical rollercoaster - one minute you're cruising down a breezy highway with the top down, and the next you're plunged into the depths of heartbreak. This album is a nostalgic journey through the melodramatic world of 70s soft rock, complete with soaring ballads and epic guitar solos. Carmen's smooth vocals and knack for storytelling make each track feel like a mini dramatic saga, perfect for belting out in the car or alone in your room.

"Change Of Heart" sees Carmen embracing a more pop-oriented sound, with catchy hooks and slick production. While some may argue that he's lost some of the raw emotion of his earlier work, there's no denying the infectious energy of tracks like "Hey Deanie" and "Desperate Fools."

"Boats" takes a more introspective turn, with Carmen delving into themes of love, loss, and longing. The album is a slow burn, with each track building on the last to create a tapestry of emotions that will leave you feeling both heartbroken and hopeful. From the haunting piano melodies of "Inside Story" to the anthemic chorus of "Love Is All That Matters," Carmen proves that he's not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve.

Overall, this triple album reissue is a must-have for any Eric Carmen fan, offering a comprehensive look at the evolution of his sound over the years. So, grab your tissues and prepare to embark on an emotional journey through the whimsical world of Eric Carmen.
