Title: Uninspired follow-up to a masterpiece
Product review: Ever go on a vacation to somewhere new, and you don't know what to expect, and you just have the most fun, and enjoy yourself immensely, and you can't wait to go back? Well, that's what Ferry's 1st solo album, THESE FOOLISH THINGS is like. And then you go back to that same vacation spot, and the magic is gone, and it's not the same the 2nd time around, and it's not nearly as much fun as the 1st time you went. That's what this album, the follow-up, Ferry's second solo LP, is like. Thematically, ANOTHER TIME... is the same a THESE FOOLISH THINGS, but for whatever reason; song selection, inspired performances (or lack thereof) or execution, it's not nearly as fun, or as good, as its masterwork predecessor. Sometimes, you can't go back.
