The 1985 Listening Post - Honeymoon Suite - The Big Prize

Honeymoon Suite - The Big Prize


#41
February 14 1985
Honeymoon Suite
The Big Prize
Genre: Rock
3 out of 5


Highlights:
Bad Attitude
Once the Feeling


That clean, clear stadium ready arena rock sound from Canada is back. Much more Foreigner than Power Pop this time, though. Reading up on this, engineer Bob Rock’s work here got him noticed by a little band from New Jersey, Bongiovi. 
Also, Ian Anderson is a guest flautist on “All Along You Knew”. Who knew? And it’s the best Jethro Tull song in years.
This time it’s a lot more generic than before. I know there were hits on this record but, for the life of me, I can’t discern them.
