One of Rock's Greatest Albums
'Hi Infidelity' is one of those rare albums where the sum is greater than the total of the individual parts.

Although there are several great singles on this CD, the album as a whole is superb. When obtaining music for an older group, one is normally safe just getting a greatest hits collection. Not so with REO. This album is really a must have for any classic rock fan.

It would not hurt to get their best of CD either, but this is great all by itself. Some of the most recognizable tracks include: Don't Let Him Go, Keep on Loving You, Tough Guys, and Take It On The Run.

Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

REO Speedwagon - A Big Step Down
"Infidelity" would prove to be REO's most successful album spawning several huge hit singles and sitting on top of the album chart for a multitude of weeks. Although the public seemed to love it, for older REO fans this one was a huge letdown. REO had been toiling away for years in the Midwest (this is actually their 11th album), before this thing broke the dam wide open. "Don't Let Him Go", "Keep On Loving You", "Take It On The Run", and "Tough Guys" were all top 40 hit singles, and pretty much everything else on the record was played on AOR radio. The singles were so overexposed that even if you liked them you got sick of hearing them so much. Of the album cuts "Shakin It Loose" is a cool rocker and would have fit right in on the "Tuna Fish" album, and the final closing power ballad "I Wish You Were There" is decent enough. Overall though I don't this album holds a candle to the best of their earlier works. It remains an all time classic for some people, but I just barley give it 3 stars.

A Good Album
The rest of the album is enjoyable, but the 45's that came out it are great. "I Just Want To Keep On Loving You" is a CLASSIC & worth the price of the album alone! I believe this is the best REO Speedwagon has put out.

The Essential Album From REO Speedwagon
Released in early 1981, this album shot REO Speedwagon to the top of the pop music charts. Despite having limited success earlier in their career, this album established REO Speedwagon as one of the top bands of the 1980s.

Blending powerful ballads with excellent rock-and-roll, "Hi Infidelity" has something for any music fan. The disc opens with the hit "Don't Let Him Go", a song which REO has used to open their concerts for years (and they still do today!) Up next is the #1 ballad "Keep On Loving You", which features Kevin Cronin's excellent vocals and piano. Also included on the disc is the top 10 hit "Take it on the Run", "Tough Guys"-complete with an intro. from the Little Rascals, the up-beat "Out of Season", and Bruce Hall's "Someone Tonight".

This album's popularity has remained high for over 25 years, and REO still sounds as good today as they did when this album was released. I recently saw REO in concert, and they can still rock with the best of them.

I give this CD my highest recommendation. Kevin Cronin is superb on lead vocals, and Bruce Hall, Gary Richrath, Alan Gratzer, and Neal Doughty on bass, lead guitar, drums, and keyboards, respectively, give REO a unique, driving sound. Listen to this CD and hear some great rock and roll from one of the supergroups of the 80s (and today).
