Title: Lost their Funkness!
Product review: Being a fan of all things Cameo related, I picked up this 1992 release of the group expecting great things. I don't think this CD was the album that broke the camel's back, but I do think it was the end of an era for a fantastic group. I think that with each passing albumReal Men Wear Black&Machismowith a changing musical landscape that was going for a more polish sound, as opposed to a funk backdrop, Cameo were always going to sound dated. Because they either couldn't see this musical change happening, or which is nearer the truth to be, they wanted to either try and embrace this new musical frontier, 'Emotional Violence' sounds like a band that have gone on too long. The only decent song to my ears is 'That Type of Guy' which adheres to the formula of a horn/brass section, and is the only reason that I will be buying this CD.This album was in fact the group's last on a major label, as I write. Unless you are a die-hard fan, I would avoid this one.
