Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing to refine their incredibly successful arena rock formula, the veteran band delivered another set of highly polished, radio-friendly anthems and power ballads. 'Life as We Know It' relies heavily on slick synthesizers and the soaring, emotional vocal delivery of Kevin Cronin. It stands as the final studio album to feature the group's classic, most commercially potent 1980s lineup.
