Welcome to the Real World is the second album by American pop rock band Mr. Mister. Released in 1985, it climbed to #1 on the Billboard album charts during early 1986.
Two singles from the album, "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie" both went to #1 on the US singles chart. Another single from the album, "Is It Love," was another top 10 hit for the band, peaking at #8 on the Billboard chart.
A remastered 25th-anniversary edition of the album was released as a Digipak on April 20, 2010.
AllMusic's retrospective review said simply "Here are the major pop hits 'Broken Wings,' 'Kyrie,' and 'Is It Love' from this band of session musicians and songwriters."
