Street Talk – Restoration [Reissue] (2015)

Street-Talk-2-350x350
2002’s Restoration was the band’s third release, and may be their best overall album. Street Talk took everything that worked on Transition and made it that much better here. Edman sounds perfect as expected, and even gets an assist on two tracks by former Valentine/Open Skyz singer Hugo. There’s a bit more punch on this album, though it’s still as smooth as AOR gets.

Street Talk – V 2015 [deluxe reissues]

Street-Talk-3-350x350
2006’s V is (you guessed it) the fifth Street Talk release, and if it ends up being their final offering it’s not a bad way to say goodbye. V just sounds more mature and more electric than anything else Street Talk had done at that point. Not quite modern, but not so dependent on the ‘80s AOR framework either. It has a strong Stage Dolls vibe, which is not a bad thing at all.
