Dennis DeYoung - Back To The World (1986)

Dennis DeYoung is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer. Best known for being a founding member of the rock band Styx as primary lead vocalist and keyboardist, a tenure that lasted from 1970 until June 1999. DeYoung has been credited as the writer of more Styx songs than any other Styx member. He was also the band's most successful writer, penning 7 of the band's 8 Billboard Top 10 singles as well as a solo top 10 single. Back to the World is the second solo album from Dennis DeYoung. It was released in 1986 by A&M Records. It reached #108 on The Billboard 200 Charts. "Call Me" reached #5 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. The song "This is the Time" was included on the soundtrack to the movie Karate Kid II.

Back to the World opens up with "This Is the Time," aka the "Theme to Karate Kid II," its very existence suggesting what exactly went right and wrong on Desert Moon. DeYoung's solo debut brought him enough success that he could score the theme song to a sequel, so there wasn't much reason to change his approach – indeed, most of the same people on Desert Moon return for Back to the World, including guitarist Tom Dziallo – but the fact that he scored with a ballad, not a rocker, means he ramps up his schmaltzy side on this sophomore set. Even when it rocks, which is primarily on the second side, there's a bit of razzmatazz that seems all the more overblown when it's filtered through stacks of synthesizers. This does result in some bad decisions on DeYoung's part, the worst being the down-home blues harp that begins the robotic rocker "Southbound Ryan" – an ode to Chicago that contains the lyrics "I shouted rock & roll/I saw a monkey steal the show" and sounds as if it was designed for a dream Beverly Hills Cop II – but the Broadway-bound "Person to Person" isn't far behind, either. "Unanswered Prayers," a small-scale reworking of "Desert Moon" that is thankfully graced by synthesized electric sitars, winds up being the highlight, but this record distills every bad mainstream production idea of 1986 and sets it to songs so scrupulously sculpted in melody, they're not catchy.
