The musicianship and songs are very good throughout this album of well crafted AOR. Shooting Star continued to toil in obscurity for years, never receiving the recognition they deserved, but It's Over Now remains a great album and gets two thumbs up!
The sound on It's Not Over is very similar to Foreigner, as new vocalist Keith Mitchell is reminiscent of Lou Gramm.
Of course the obligatory ballads like "We Can't Wait Forever" and "Blame It On The Night" were also included.
