Rating:  out of 5 stars - The Best Corey Hart
Other reviewers below, what can I say? , some people thought the Beatles sucked too when I was growing up.

If you can have only one Corey Hart Album, this is it! One of the few I have loved every cut on it, and thought fit in with the rest. He had several other "good" albums, but none like this one. Get it if you don't have it, or were too young to have been exposed to the best of the early 80's.


Rating:  out of 5 stars - Similar to Genesis
Corey Hart is very similar to Genesis as far as "fun" rock goes. Easy to figure out the lyrics on some of the songs WITHOUT the computer. For instance, you only need to listen to "Sunglasses At Night" to figure out most of the song. All you need after that is to be either very daring or be an American Idol winner! I know that sounds funny coming from a kid who wasn't even alive when this album was released, but, as my dad says a lot, "one never knows what kids will listen to next"!



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Great 80's Music!!
This album is perfect for fans of 80's hits. I first heard it from my mom, since she owns it on a tape. We listen to it a lot in the car, especially on those long trips! First Offence is really fun to sing along to, as most of the songs are easy to understand. Go ahead, try it!

Sunglasses At Night
by Corey Hart

Album: First Offense

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While, she's deceiving me,
It cuts my security(has)
she got control of me
I turn to her and say

*Chorus*:
Don't switch the blade on the guy
in shades; oh no
Don't mess around with the guy in shades;
(oh no) (I can't believe it)
You got it made with the guy in shades;
oh no

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

While she's deceiving me,
she cuts my security( has)
She got control of me
I turn to her and say

*Chorus*:
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades
(oh no)
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
( oh no) (I can't believe it)
don't be afraid of the guy in shades
(oh No) (It can't escape you)
(cus) You got it made with the guy in shades
( oh no)

I said I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night

I say to ya now I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night

I cry to you now I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - FIRST EFFORT
Ok, i'll grant it to you...the one thing that first got me was the cute hunk looks of corey hart on the cd cover.
But i was only 13...and the guy was so hot! it came as a pleasant surprise buying this cd a few years later and find out some songs were actually as good: the infectuos SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT (definitely a must of a song back in the early '80s...), the sweet IT AIN'T ENOUGH and the sensual lament of THE WORLD IS FIRE.
The rest is pretty much early '80s stuff...
The guy was only 22 when this was first launched on the market, but you must give him credit for being a complete, struggling and will-driven young songwriter from canada, maybe a little Sting-like voiced and The Police sounding, but definitely someone to watch closely over the years.
