The album that took a 180 degree turn
Nov 7 2003
Format:Audio CD
ONE EIGHTY was inspired by the month and year this album was finished,January 1980. Burleigh Drummond's arms around Joe Puerta is not a sign of homosexuality,as some people might think. This album was re-released in February 2000 on compact disc in America. This album is Ambrosia's fourth with their last biggest hits YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN and BIGGEST PART OF ME written by Ambrosia member David Pack. They're both jazz-flavored. LIVIN' ON MY OWN is also jazz-flavored. Those three songs appear on 1997's ANTHOLOGY. READY,also written by Pack, is a hard-rocker just like ROCK 'N A HARD PLACE(not to be confused with the Rolling Stones recording of almost the same title with different words and music). Drummer Drummond takes the lead on his personally penned CRYIN' IN THE RAIN. NO BIG DEAL,SHAPE I'M IN and KAMIKAZE are all cool. Ambrosia would record one more album after this,ROAD ISLAND,released in 1982 and disband thereafter.
SWEET AMBROSIA

So, first off---what's with the album cover? Is it homsexual to hug another band member? What about all the football guys who hug each other and pat each other's derrieres? Come on, guys, physical contact is pretty common amongst most men, they just don't admit it.
With that said, the music: it's one of their best, I think. "Kamikaze" with its stilted off-tempo beat, is a killer song. The vocals by Pack and Puerta on all the songs lift them way beyond the norm for those 80's bands. Their two hits, "The Biggest Part of Me" and "You're the Only Woman" are great top-40 songs; you even hear them today. "Cryin in the Rain," "Livin on My Own," "Ready"..they're all great tunes.
If you've heard their "Anthology," you can see how great these guys have developed. They were actually involved with the Alan Parsons' classic "Tales of Mystery and Imagination." Pack has since become a producer and backup singer, having helmed Patti Austin's awesome "The Real Me." These guys knew their stuff, and they obviously even LIKED each other.
RECOMMENDED.

Uneven but...........

There is some great stuff on here.The two hits here are very nice songs but I tend to lean more towards Livin on my own,Ready
and Rock and a hard place,as my favorites on this disc.I think I finally figured out why they called this disc One Eighty,
because after each song they turned their direction for their next song a 180 degrees in another direction.(yes ,no, maybe).
This is still a very professional album.

Besides the album cover...
This album was good. Two popular songs in "You're the Only Woman" and "Biggest Part of Me" alone make this a winner. Read more

Evolution, perhaps...
Like the Yes albums of the 1980s, this project is best heard in it's own context, not in view of all that came before. Read more
