Bounce Right Back.

Review Score: (10/10)
Rick Springfield was a god of power-pop from 1981 to 1985. He was unstoppable with hit after hit. "Tao" was the end cap on that period of time. All the songs this album fit together extremely well. It sits alongside "Working Class Dog", "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet" and "Living In Oz" as one of Rick's best albums. "Tao" came off the extremely lackluster "Hard To Hold" debacle the year before (though he had hits from that album/film with "Bop 'Til You Drop" and "Love Somebody" anyway!) If you're looking for great 80's music buy all four albums I've mentioned from Springfield and then stop because "Rock Of Life" and "Karma" were not as well crafted. As a long time fan, I am looking forward to his newest release "Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance" and hope that Rick returns to form. Rick Springfield has to be one of the most overlooked talents in popular music and one listen to "Tao", or any of the other three albums I've listed, will prove it.
