No one's told the drummer.

The drummer is definitely the worst thing about this album.

5:10 minutes long. What a Face

It's like the worst 80s, huge snare, production combined with the worse 90s, bass heavy confused, production

I'm not convinced that it's entirely his fault.

This might work if it was a little less, err just less.

Weak voice.

This just isn't how you'd expect one half of Wham to go.

Drums – Paul Ridgeley

Is that his son?

The songs on this album were recorded at 12 different studios.

Recorded at Comforts Place, Lingfield; Compass Point, Nassau; Eden Studios, London, England; EMI/Pathé Studios, Paris, France; Galaxy Sound Studio, Los Angeles; Ground Control, Los Angeles; Great Linford Studios, Great Linford; Maison Rouge, London; Mayfair Studios, London; Olympic Studios, London; Terminal 24, London, and Skylight Studios, London

Impressive for an album with only 8 songs.

The last track is missing. dontpanic

Let's see what the original sounded like

by Butterfield Tue May 21, 2024 7:39 pm

Oh, it has finished. It was quite awful, with just a tiny hint of something decent underneath all the rabble. I've always wondered why this album has been hidden away all these years - now I know why.

2/5

by Nightjar Tue May 21, 2024 7:39 pm

Well, most importantly, it's out of the way now.

That is my review.

It's just a remix and wasn't on the orginal LP, so it dosn't count.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 21, 2024 7:39 pm

It is over.

I feel it was an album that could have been salvaged if it had been mixed by someone with a pair of ears.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars.

If it had been remixed, it might've been better than the rest of the album. bawl

It's not/wasn't.

Seems like we were (thankfully) doing the original vinyl release. happy
