Album Description
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1983 album including five bonus tracks. Commercial success had finally arrived for the Tubes with the release of Completion Backward Principle. The rock radio airplay and Top 40 success generated by that release set the stage for a return to the studio with producer David Foster attempting to recapture the magic for Outside/Inside. The band did not disappoint as the album came screaming out of the gate with "She's A Beauty", the biggest hit the band would ever have. The single went Top 10 and was a #1 rock record so the band now had both sides of the FM/AM dial fully covered.

| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  There's more here...., By This review is from: Outside Inside (Audio CD) There's more here then meets the eye...or the ear. Everyone will recognize "She's A Beauty", but the rest of the CD, is well worth listening....even though the other review listed here calls it "filler"! I gave this 5 stars because it's not only my favourite Tubes release, but it contains my favourite Tubes song...No Not Again. If you liked "Completion Backwards Principle" you will enjoy this CD as well. If you can still find copies of this CD, buy it! These guys were way ahead of there time, and there music still holds up, some 20 years later. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Finally, The Tubes get radio airplay!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Outside Inside (Audio CD) This CD does not reflect the wild comic fun of a live Tubes show, nor does it reflect their quirky songwriting ability of their 70's heyday (the CD "Dawn of the Tubes", which is becoming increasingly harder to find, does accomplish those feats, however). But O/I has some really good near-metal rock and roll. In particular, "Out of the Business", "No, Not Again", and the Earth, Wind, and Fire -flavored "Tip Of My Tongue" (with the song's chorus written chiefly by a member of EW&F - because The Tubes just couldn't find a chorus that worked) are stand-outs. Of course, everyone remembers the CD's opening track "She's A Beauty". Not my favorite Tubes song, but I'm grateful it got them some airplay and increased record sales. But to really appreciate The Tubes (short of travelling back in time to see them perform in concert in 1976) one must listen to their 1970's catalog. Their first two LPs of the 80's (1981's The Completion...

The Tubes paid their dues through the 1970s setting a standard for wild weird shows that got them banned in many cities throughout the states. They played thousands of shows without the benefit of having any chart success, but as the 1980s dawned, the band, starting to get a bit long in the tooth, searched for chart success by spoofing the corporate yuppie idiot public with the fine "The Completion Backwards Principle" and sought to have more success with a straight-up pop effort. "She's a Beauty" put the band all over MTV and the rest of the album delivers fine pop songs. The beautiful 'Fantastic Delusion" the neck snapping R&B of "Tip of my Toungue" and the catchy "Theme Park" all work well under the expert production of David Foster. Also welcome is the hard rocking "Out of the... Read more |
