January 1985
Gowan
Strange Animal
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Guerilla Solider
(You’re a) Strange Animal
If Russell Mael of Sparks fronted Supertramp it would sound like this record.
I was thinking to myself how much like Styx this could sound and then I read up and learned that Lawrence Gowan replaces Dennis DeYoung as Styx’s lead singer.
So that not a surprise. And apparently they play “A Criminal Mind” in concert to this day. It’s okay. There’s better here.
This is listenable prog-pop but it doesn’t do much to push the envelope.
A little of Gowan goes a long way.
