Customer Reviews

World Falling Down
When I first heard this album my initial reaction was, 'These are such sad songs'. (well, sad messages in them, put it that way.) However, I read some time later that Peter was going through a divorce while working on this album so, from that point on, I listened to it in a whole new light, hearing him pouring out such pain. Daft as it sounds, I even started feeling sorry for him.

Although the songs contain sad messages, it is, of course, not a sad album to listen to, as they are untempo and jolly. A prime example is the title track ~ it's an uptempo, bright song but at the same time it's saying that things happen sometimes and your world can suddenly fall down around you. Another example is 'Even A Fool Can See' saying there is nothing left and it's time to move on, 'Wild Ways' asking what has happened to days gone by, 'Dip Your Wings' saying if our love means anything then show me. The album finishes with the wonderful 'Have You Ever Been In Love' where he could poignantly be asking if she ever really loved him anyway.

Don't for a single moment be put off by the sad subject matter of the album. Just listen to it (preferably in a darkened room !)and let it wash over you and tug at you hearstrings ~ because it's going to.! As he said recently,'When I write and sing, it comes straight from the heart'. There is no more appropriate footnote than that to put to this album, so I'm not going to even try thinking of one.

A Guilty Pleasure
I bought this originally in the early 90's when I lived in Gibraltar. I heard in a little record shop on main street and was instantly hooked by the searing melodies.
While Peter is never going to be "cool", "hip" or "now", this album has always been one of my guilty pleasure albums - the ones your ashamed to admit to liking and mortified to admit you own!
All of the tracks, even today, sound fresh and Cetera's vocals are crystal clear, a reminder that 80's ballads were among the finest ever recorded!
A duet with Chaka Khan also reminds us that while a powerful singer in his own right, he's not averse to sharing the lime light and in such awesome company, he could easily have beome a backing singer but he more than holds his own with the soul legend.
If you liked Chicago, then give this a try, you won't be disappointed!

His Finest Work
After the stark difference in style, from his perhaps better known work in Chicago, to be found on his previous solo release "One More Story", here Peter not only returns to the heights of excellence to be found on some tracks on his earlier solo release "Solitude Soltaire", he exceeds them with a consistency that runs right through the album!

From start to finish there is not a weak song on "World Falling Down". The opening tracks are more upbeat and the album generally becomes more downtempo with each track.

You can feel that events in Peter's personal life, which are alluded to in the very nature of the title of the album, are reflected in every song.

A truly wonderful album. 10 out of 10.
