Negative Positive
Title: A touch of crass.
Review: Didn't the music biz learn anything from the Milli Vanilli fiasco? As the CD liner notes reveal in tiny print, the cute young faces on the cover are not the people who sang the vocals. Considering that the studio vocalists aren't exactly Celine Dion or Brian McKnight, this is really sad. The presence of some sugary, synth-heavy Euro-pop-dance confections that owe more than a little to Abba, Aqua, and Robert Miles ("Around the World," "Why Oh Why," "Until," and "Mind Machine") does little to make up for the dishonest packaging, infantile lyrics, or the tepid attempts in the second half of the CD to ape the Backstreet Boys and Enrique Iglesias.
Is the review positive or negative?
