Romantic progressive pop with layered piano and synthesizer atop outrageously pretentious lyrics about love and war. Those who can get past lines like “A post-war eunuch/A lover that is lame” will find some relaxed, smoky melodies here, especially the closer “Summers of My Life.” “Fly into This Night” was a minor FM hit that lands a hefty keyboard punch courtesy of his brother, Joe Vannelli. Instrumentally, this is perhaps Vannelli’s best effort. The lyrics are quite amusing, though that might not have been his intention. – Peter Kurtz
