Richard Marx-"Repeat Offender" (1989)

At the end of the 80s the singer Richard Marx published his second album entitled "Repeat Offender" with which he made one of the best and most remembered melodic rock albums of that decade.
If with his debut album he had already achieved a great reputation as a great singer and a very good composer with an album that covered songs close to the AOR and beautiful ballads that would boost him to an eighth place in the Top-20, with "Repeat Offender" he would reach the top of the charts and a sales that exceeded four million albums.
For this new album, Richard Marx surrounded himself with a superb team of musicians with whom it was impossible to make a bad album, members of great melodic rock bands such as Chicago and Toto (Bill Champlin,Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball) in addition to Michael Landau, Larry Williams, Nathan East, Tom Scott, Randy Jackson, Mike Baird or Bruce Gaitsch among many others were participants in a colossal album.
In addition to the hits from the album "Angelia" and "Right Here Waiting", an AOR halftime and a beautiful ballad, it contained other songs of great melodic rock "Too Late Say Goodbye", forceful rock "Heart On The Line", addictive themes "If You Don´t Want My Love" or melodic AOR "Children Of the Night".
Two years later with his album "Rush Street" he hardened his style, but preserving melodic rock and which was a success although to a lesser extent, and where the jazzy "Keep Coming Back", the emotional "Hazard" or the purely stood out AOR "Calling You".
