Customer Reviews of Premonition

Actually the first Survivor album was called "Survivor"
And no, there was no possible comparison between Dave Bickler and Jimi Jamison. Bickler rocked. Jamison crooned til your lunch revolted. I loved the edge Bickler's voice gave to the early recordings, including the vastly overplayed "Eye Of The Tiger" which deserved ever bit of praise it ever got. (I just wish the classic rock powers that be hadn't killed it for me.) "Poor Man's Son" and "Summer Nights" were my favorites here, despite the balladish nature of the latter song.

It's really their first!
I remember hearing "Poor Man's Son" on the radio in 1981 and wondering who that was, really liking it. I'd never heard of Survivor and would not hear of them again - until the next year.

1982's "Eye Of The Tiger" was a huge hit, as well all know.

What we all seem to miss is the original issue dates of these albums; Premonition was released *before* Eye Of The Tiger. It was *re-issued* after Eye hit it big. If you find the LPs, look at the release numbers on them - Premonition came first. Yet many fans thing it was the second album. Thanks to some good San Francisco rock station, which has long since gone blander than tofu and/or been bought by Clear Channel, I *knew* who Survivor was, sort of, when they made it big.

So, it was neat to see a case of commercial redemption, where a band was able to follow on a hit album by re-issuing their earlier material after it was ignored.

Premonition is mandatory in any Survivor fan's collection. It's raw-edged David Bickler stuff. It manages to capture a great deal of the teen male angst that they tried to appeal to. While it's not the work of art that 'Foreigner' was, it belongs next to it.
