The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

No one's told the drummer.
The drummer is definitely the worst thing about this album.

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.

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.
Quote :
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.

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

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.

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.

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

It's not/wasn't.
Seems like we were (thankfully) doing the original vinyl release.
