Our Take

REO Speedwagon: The Early Years 1971-1977

If you're a fan of classic rock and have been wondering what the heck happened to these guys after "Can't Fight This Feeling," then boy do I have a treat for you! Dive headfirst into the world of REO Speedwagon with their new compilation album, "The Early Years 1971-1977."

This album is like a time machine taking you back to a time when mullets were cool and bell-bottoms were a fashion statement. With tracks like "Ridin' the Storm Out" and "Keep Pushin'," you'll be feeling that nostalgic rock n' roll vibe in no time.

But don't let the retro sound fool you, these guys were ahead of their time. With their catchy hooks and infectious melodies, it's no wonder they became one of the biggest bands of the 70s.

Sure, some may argue that REO Speedwagon's glory days are behind them, but after listening to this album, I beg to differ. Their music is like a fine wine, only getting better with age.

So put on your platform shoes, grab a lava lamp, and crank up the volume because REO Speedwagon is back and better than ever. Trust me, you won't regret it. But if you do, well, you can't fight that feeling. Cheers!
