CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED and held in the highest of esteem by both fellow musicians and critics alike, Chicago hopefuls Enuff Z Nuff confounded expectations by falling short of commercial success. Their debut album had set tongues wagging with huge benefits predicted but, through no fault of their own, fast-track acceleration was curtailed by a number of set-backs. For many, it could have been a devastating blow but for EZN it just meant they would have to work harder next time around. Strength , the band s eagerly expected sophomore album, was yet another astounding piece of work. Recorded in 1991, the band threw everything and the kitchen sink into their songs, producing a record that, for many, actually eclipsed their fêted debut. It was an album that showed maturity and depth, without losing the essence of their sound; a compelling mash-up of the Bon Jovi and Cheap Trick. All fifteen songs show a band in song writing heaven, driven to extraordinary highs by Donnie Vie s sensational and plaintiff voice. Captured in the prime of creativity, their energy and inventiveness knowing no bounds - songs such as Heaven Or Hell , Holly Wood Ya and Baby Loves You continues the pop-rock theme from their debut album, but it s deeper, perhaps darker, tracks like Mother s Eyes and the title track that indicate their real genius. Hamstrung by grunge and torpedoed by corporate machinations, Strength failed to connect commercially but it s one of the most compelling albums you ll ever hear.
