    Ace's 1978 solo album is one of my favorite records of all time. He captured magic on that one, and never could quite do it again to that extent. His later stuff as a solo artist was spotty for me, but he did manage to surround himself with extremely competent musicians which definitely helped. He'll always be one of my heroes and I'll gladly buy this cd when it comes out, even if it's not the greatest thing I've ever heard. I'm sure there'll be at least a few classic licks worth buying it for

      Ace was "in the zone" witth his solo album in 1978----and that
      vibe oozed through to his contribution on ALIVE II (Rocket Ride)
      as well as his stuff on DYNASTY and UNMASKED---why Ace lost so much
      footing/consistency post-1980 I will NEVER be able figure out.

      I'm guessing this new album "ANOMALY" will be yet another so-so effort
      by Ace---

      but

      maybe what this has got going for it is the 10 year break and
      the stance of that any song with lead vocals are sung by Ace
      and on the whole written by Ace which hasn't been the case
      with any of his solo albums since his '78 one where all songs
      had at least a co-write by Ace (except the single NY Groove)
      and all had a lead vocal by him except, of course, the track with NO vocals---
      the FRACTURED MIRROR instrumental.
      "No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris Mannix
