Title: Danceable Cynicism
Product review: I agree with many of the other reviews here: this is a fine, underappreciated album. Carly Simon's vocals are tough and appropriately aggressive. There is a darkness at work beneath the 80s sheen and the lyrics are witty and adult. Why do so many people take "Interview" at face value? Did they not listen to the whole song? Same with "Spoiled Girl." Simon is COMMENTING on the dangers of narcissism, not indulging in it. The mid-80s was a bleak time, I think, but Carly Simon filtered all the bombast into something really intriguing.
