Editorial Review:
NEH Records brings you another great Melodic Rock import. A sure classic, Equilibrium features songwriters Martin Page (writer for HEART, BAD ENGLISH, STARSHIP), Richard Page (MR. MISTER), Jim Peterik (SURVIVOR), Bobby Caldwell (writer for CHICAGO and TOTO) and Steve Kipner (CHICAGO, THINK OUT LOUD) and a star studded line up of musicians including Steve Porcaro (TOTO), Neal Schon (JOURNEY, BAD ENGLISH), Tim Pierce (RICK SPRINGFIELD), Rocket Ritchotte (CHER, STAN BUSH), Guy Allison (DOOBIE BROTHERS, AIR SUPPLY), Ron Wikso (STORM, FOREIGNER), Kelly Hansen (UNRULY CHILD, HURRICANE), Jason Scheff (CHICAGO) and Jeff Scott Soto (TALISMAN). Great songs and great players make this a superb debut solo album for one of rock’s premier vocalists.
Equilibrium Reviews:
Pretty good 
2008-08-13 - Fergie first solo album is a good one.His voice doesnt quite shine as much as in TOTO's Isolation.And its lacking the great backup band as in TOTO.The writing,I think,is lacking also.But I enjoy it as I love Fergies kicking voice!
This is Awful! 
2008-02-29 - I'm usually not inclined to write bad reviews but I think this particular poor work deserves to be reported so others will not make the same mistake. Please save your money and buy something else, this CD is so bad I do not know where to begin. The songs are sooooooo bad it's pathetic. Granted, Fergie sings OK, but without a good song to carry him along, this CD is only good for serving as a beverage coaster. Sorry Fergie, this one stinks! - Ciao
it took me back were real music ! 
2005-11-30 - Great songs, great vocals, from toto's isolation album singer. A whole mix between Toto, Journey and Chicago.If you like this bands, this album is for you.Thanx Fergie for this jewle of music A+...
Former TOTO singer's solo debut
2003-03-06 - Fergie Frederiksen is the voice behind my favourite album of all time - TOTO's "Isolation". Some years ago I found a postal address for him and quickly sent off a sprawling, vaguely gushing handwritten letter to him. A few months later I was more than a bit surprised to find he'd sent me some original signed promotional material for his brand new solo album. I ordered it instantly.
Initially I was slightly disappointed - his voice doesn't soar QUITE as freely as it had 15 years earlier, and this time he wasn't singing songs written by the great David Paich. However after a few listens it grew on me, and there are in fact no weak moments on the CD at all. Fergie and longtime friend and producer Ricky Phillips chose excellent material from a wide range of sources to fill up the disc, including a few self-penned titles. Absolute highlights are "Mata Hari", "All For Love", "Died In The Midst Of A Dream" and "The Truth Is Good Enough".
Since releasing this album Fergie has done guest vocal spots on the two Radioactive albums (the 2nd is forthcoming) and was a member for the first "Mecca" album. All of these are only available as imports, but if you like TOTO (especially "Isolation") or Journey, you'll probably feel you've got your moneys worth.
Fergie is due to start work on his second solo effort soon - can't wait.
Holy Retro 80's Batman!!
2002-03-06 - If you had no idea that this album was released in 1999, you'd swear that it was an 80's recording. This is understandable when you realize that the songwriters on this album were responsible for some of the 80's most successful tunes. If you like 80's music, you'll really enjoy this album. Unless you are a Toto fan, you will probably have no idea who Fergie is. Think of it this way: if Toto and Chicago ever had a love child, it would be Fergie Fredericksen! Don't sweat it though. The man can hold his own and he's got some great songwriters and musicians (including Journey's Neal Schon), to back him up. The tunes are rockin', catchy pop music that'll still be in your head days after you've listened to it. For an import, you can't beat the price. Get one now while you can.
