Benny Mardones Never Run Never Hide (1980)
Originally Released 1980\nCD Edition Released 1990 ??\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Features the original version of the monster hit, "Into the Night." -- Bil Carpenter\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nahhhhhhh...memories....., February 1, 2006\nReviewer: Lawrence Barlow "lawrenceba549" (Saranac Lake, NY USA)\nI will admit to a bias where Benny Mardones is concerned. I am originally from Syracuse, NY, and from 1980-1984 no one, and I mean no one, could sell out any venue in town faster than Benny. To grow up in Syracuse at that time and not know who Benny Mardones was is akin to not knowing Springsteen since Born in the USA. Benny was most definately the biggest fish in our pond then. \nThis album was mandatory. No, it was more important than that. It was life or death. We all knew every song, and most of us still do. I know I will never sing Hold Me Down the way I did as a teenager (not that I sang that song great then, but I tried), and I will never again be that teenager looking at the stage as he croons Into The Night. The memories are still there. \nMusically, this album rocks a lot harder than Into the Night would suggest. Hold Me Down is just boundless energy, Shes So Frech is deliberate but heavy, and the rest of the album is just fun and rock n roll. \nNow if they would only re-release Too Much To Lose........ \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nA One Hit Wonder -- Twice, July 10, 2005\nReviewer: JOP (The Big City)\nThis one hit wonder from Maryland got a total of 30 minutes of fame. The first round came when "Into the Night" climbed to #11 on the US singles chart in the autumn of 1980. Nearly nine years later a second set of 15 minutes rolled his way when the same version became a hit all over again peaking at #20 in the summer of 1989. (An attempt by Mardones to cash in on this second chance be rerecording the song failed when that version did not chart). \n\nThe song can be something of a guilty pleasure if you don't pay too much attention to it. It kind of sounds like either a third rate Springsteen knockoff, or an actually halfway decent Meat Loaf tune (not that such an animal exists, mind you). That almost surreal cross turns out to be the song's undoing though, as it causes you to pay closer attention at which point you realize it is about a grown man lusting, and rather openly I might add, over a 16 year old girl and you end up with major case of the creeps.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nA Rockin' Good Listen!, December 11, 1999\nReviewer: Frances Chaffey (Wales, UK)\nBenny Mardones really rocks! On fast tunes, ballads, whatever. Every song on 'Never Run Never Hide' is excellent; I can't choose a favourite but obviously 'Into The Night' is a classic. 'Hold Me Down' and 'Hey Baby' are close contenders but really they ALL tie for top place. Brilliant drums by Sandy Gennaro too! Check it out or miss out.......\n\nHalf.com N/A
