Ok, I'm not real good with this whole review thing, but I just GOTTA get this one in the mix! For the longest time, "Rio" was my fave album by these guys, but after listening to 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' (1983) a couple times through, it kinda grew on me...the odd little album that it is and now it's without a doubt my absolute favorite from these guys.

Of course you got the hits like "The Reflex" (went #1 on the charts), "New Moon on Monday" (went #10 on the charts), and "Union of the Snake" (went #3 on the charts)...but the 'non-hits' are just as good and in some cases better! :D

"Of Crime and Passion" is probably my favorite of 'em all with "Shadows on Your Side" and "The Seventh Stranger" right behind.

In my opinion it's their best album done and a definite must have for any 80's music fan :)

As is customary with the reviews, here's the track list:

1. The Reflex
2. New Moon on Monday
3. (I'm Looking For) Cracks in the Pavement
4. I Take the Dice
5. Of Crime and Passion
6. Union of the Snake
7. Shadows on Your Side
8. Tiger Tiger
9. The Seventh Stranger

I totally agree! I have to admit it is probably in my Top 10 of favorite 80's albums. My fave tracks are: "Of Crime And Passion", "The Seventh Stranger", and "Union Of The Snake".
