Air Supply became one of the most ubiquitous soft rock bands of the 1980s with a few mere high-pitched proclamations of love and promises that that chorus and that those words were the truth, at least as it applied to matters of the heart. But any joker who’s been on a date with the girl from the dorm across the street knows that love only exists the way it exists in love songs in the heads of guys who write them, thus, when the going got tough a year or two after the boys from Australia burst onto the scene with “Lost In Love” and “All Out of Love,” the Polo shirt crowd wised up and stopped buying. So, the band’s best material (arguably “Making Love Out Of Nothing At All” and “Lonely Is The Night”) went under heard. That’s the history, anyway. Listening to this stuff today, you might be struck by how formulaic it is, how much of it focuses on L-O-V-E and not L-U-V (what kept Air Supply from being rock ‘n’ roll all along). But try as you might, it’s hard to deny the power of the Supply (guess again – ed.) or to suggest that there wasn’t substance behind the style (“Sweet Dreams” hints at some powerful compositional capabilities). A perfect gift for your mom as she relives the glory of her youth or dodges memories of that boy who made unbelievable and undeliverable promises that one summer many, many years ago. - Jedd Beaudoin (2007, The Daily Copper)
