Negative Positive
Title: nice on paper, but...
Review: With such a great list of musicans on this album (Nile Rodgers and Brian Eno are just two) it dissapoints greatly. Though similar in sound to the excellnt Avalon, Ferry just doesn't have the same well crafted songs as he did in 1982. What results is an empty, souless albums which at its best (Mamouna) washes over pleasantly and at its worst (N.Y.C.) can be embarassing. While the production is pleasant and often innovative (thanks to Eno) it can't cover up the fact that the album is actually incredibly dull.
Is the review positive or negative?
