Aug 11, 2007 Roadmaster - Hey World (1979) Another Roadmaster post for everyone here. 'Hey World' is their third album, which continues their climb from standard midwest hard rock to AOR pomp. The hooks are still very subtle and the keyboards have taken a more prominent role than before.
- The next new song was 'Here I am', which was pure Roadmaster-pomprock again with references to their albums ‘Sweet music' and ‘Hey world'. 'Here I am' had a superb chorus and with those classic harmonyvocals again, the band had released another classic track that sounded not unlike LE ROUX, SPY and TOUCH.

Although I haven't got the CD yet I've had the album for years. Now although I originally didn't like the band (in fact the first I bought was Fortress which after a year or so stuffed at the back of my record collection grew on me) it has gone on to be one of my favourites by the band ... well they are all favourites actually. Some might find the sound a little dated these days but if your roots come up through the heady days of the 70's and 80'S then you will like this! |

Probably not as good as 'Sweet Music' but still a pretty enjoyable 70's AOR/Pomp disc. 'Hey World' and 'Us Comin' Back' are the best songs here. |

If you know someone who fancies himself/herself a major expert on 1970s arena rock but is unfamiliar with Roadmaster, it isn't surprising. None of the band's Mercury albums of the late '70s were big sellers, and it's safe to say that the vast majority of arena rock fans have never heard of Roadmaster. Recorded in Lake Geneva, WI, in early 1979, Hey, World mines the same slick, ultra-commercial arena rock/pop-rock waters as Styx. Some would argue that 'My Eyes Have Been Opened,' 'Who Will Stand in Our Way,' and other Styx-like tunes are exactly the type of innocuous, unchallenging fare that punk was rebelling against in the late '70s, but then there is no law stating that all rock has to be challenging and provocative. Screencast o matic free for mac. Rock can accommodate music that challenges and provokes as well as music that simply entertains, and Roadmaster clearly falls into the latter category. As far as commercial arena rock goes, this LP is neither a masterpiece nor a creative disaster; the material is competent, if unremarkable and formulaic. Roadmaster was hoping that Hey World would be its commercial breakthrough, but commercial success eluded the long-haired arena rockers.
