(5 stars) - A must Have
Subject is one of the most underated albums of all time. His blend of guitars and keyboards are asome on Subject. I think the songs are actually a little stronger than his classic debute. This album as never given it's due.I ould reccomed it to anyone that can find it.
(5 stars) - Aldo Nova - Subject
This album is an absolute work of art. Aldo Nova did not lose anything in the time it took to make his second album. His combination of great vocals blended with wonderful well thought out instruments, made an album to be remembered. I bought the record the first day of it's release back in 1983 and have had it since. Sadly I have not been able find the cd. This album was just as good as his self entitled album which contained "Fantasy". I would have to agree with another review which says "get this cd at any cost."
(5 stars) - Canada's answer to Tony MacAlpine
It's a shame that most of Aldo Nova's commercial success is restricted mostly to a single song ("Fantasy" from his first release) because this guy is one of the most incredibly talented musicians the rock world has ever heard. As much as I enjoy "Fantasy", his next album has even better songs.
Aldo Nova released 5 excellent albums (Aldo Nova in 1982; Subject: Aldo Nova in 1983; Twitch in 1985; Blood On The Bricks in 1991; and Nova's Dream in 1997). I love all of them, but Subject is my personal favorite. He is one of the great guitarists and a darn good singer. He has also played bass, keyboards, and drum / percussion machines on many of his songs (alongside some studio guests). This guy is a VERSATILE musician (reminds me of Tony MacAlpine, who has exhibited great mastery for both keyboards and guitars as has Aldo Nova).
Subject begins with the instrumental trio of Subject's Theme, Armageddon (Race Cars), and Armageddon. Some cool keyboards in the beginning, followed by motor-sound reminescent of a day at the auto races, and then BOOM!! - the fast-paced Armageddon kicks in with some of Aldo Nova's most memorable fretwork.
"Monkey On Your Back" was the first song here to recieve much airplay on the heavy rock radio stations. Lyrically it takes on an anti-heroin abuse theme. It's a memorable, heavy guitar riff with some interesting voice synthesizer accompaniment and more memorable guitar soloing. Probably my personal favorite from Subject. "Always Be Mine" was the other single released from Subject - a more commercially friendly tune than the former.
"Hey Operator" and "Cry Baby Cry" are two fast-paced rockers heavy laden with keyboard work, and the latter has yet another very memorable guitar solo. "All Night Long" is another fast-pace roker with some heavy keyboard emphasis. All of these are as good as anything that came from Aldo's debut release.
"Victim Of A Broken Heart is a ballad, as is "Paradise" that finishes off the record. I do like both of those songs, although I think Aldo Nova's best ballad was to follow on his next release, "Surrender Your Heart" from TWITCH.
"Africa (Primal Love)" has Aldo Nova making some interesting animal sounds with his guitar (Van Halen fans have listened to Eddie to the same thing also) accompanied with some tribal-sounding beats on the drums and atmospheric keyboards. "Always Be Mine" and "Hold Back The Night" are very melodic tracks. Reminds me of the likes Dokken and maybe the Scorpions.
It's too bad that only Aldo Nova's debut CD is still in print, as he had a LOT to offer the hard rock community with his other release that are even better. Most of his out-of-print stuff is now rare and very difficult to find, and some of those CD's can be quite pricey (at this writing, I've seen Subject sell for over $50 and Nova's Dream sell for almost $90!). So if you can grad those CD's cheap, do it FAST!! Aldo Nova is nowadays writing songs for other artists like Celine Dion, and I've not heard anything in YEARS to indicate he will be releasing more solo recordings.
(Incidentally, his real name is Aldo Caporuscio.)
 (4 stars) - DIE HARD ALDO NOVA FAN
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF ALDO NOVA EVER SINCE THE DEBUT.
I FOUND "SUBJECT" TO BE RATHER INTERESTING. DELIGHTFULLY DIFFERENT. ALL THE TRACKS WERE PUT TOGETHER VERY INTELLEGENTLY. ALL THE SONGS BLEND TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.
ALDO NOVA IS BY FAR A MUSICAL GENUIS!
