Title: Great concept, mediocre music
Product review: I was looking forward to hearing this album, especially after I heard it was produced by Don Was. The concept of creating the music of a fictional artist was very interesting to me. However, after listening to the actual music I am disappointed. I do like several of these songs, but nothing here stands out to me as something that will hold up to the test of time. Rather than creating a separate musical persona, most of these songs sound like parodies of well-known pop artists. Sometimes I wonder if the songwriters and musicians who worked on this project were intentionally trying to make Chris Gaines an unoriginal artist with second-rate material. If so, they succeeded.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
