Pro Reviews: Two Places at the Same Time
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews In addition to Parker's name becoming a headliner alongside Raydio's, this was also his third and final album with the group, spawning three chart singles. The title track, "Two Places at the Same Time," reached its apex at the number six position on the Billboard RB charts. It was followed by the instrumental dance track "For Those Who Like to Groove," which peaked at number 14 after a 12week run. "Can't Keep From Cryin'" did not have as much success; after only six weeks of life, it made it to the 57th position on the charts. Other noteworthy dance selections that did not chart are "Until the Morning Comes" and "It's Time to Party Now." Parker also teamed up with the multitalented Herbie Hancock to pen the unreleased, slowgroovin' "Tonight's the Night." - Craig Lytle, All Music Guide |

Pros: Very slick and polished
Cons: Not the level of consistancy as earlier music
'Two Places At The Same Time' has an album cover and a style of music that are very similar-very stylish and polished.The music lacks the raw grooves of their first two releases.But alot of times it also lacks the energy-"It's Time To Party Now","Until The Morning Comes" and "Everybody Makes Mistakes" are very honest lyrics again but the grooves seem too sutle one these more uptempo tunes.So this album really works better on the ballads such as the title track and the Herbie Hancock collaberation "Tonight's The Night".The only real hit this album had was "Can't Keep From Crying",which is very similar to their early hits.The one track that does catch fire is the more energetic funk instrumental "For Those Who Like To Groove".With repeated listenings 'Two Places At The Same Time' actually contains alot of wonderful songs but alot of it could be remixed because the production isn't as crisp as Raydio are known for.For the fact they have such a limited catalog this is worth having however ...
