Title: So, so sad
Review: I agree with a reviewer below, that this is just a compilation of previously unreleased tracks. Richard Carpenter and A&M Records never should have hailed "Voice of the Heart" as the final Carpenters album, considering this fact. I also agree with so many others as this being regarded as the "funeral" album. I was a fan of The Carpenters and this posthumous release only served as a reminder of the great loss everyone was feeling at the time. However, there are many lovely recordings such as "Ordinary Fool," "At the End of a Song" and "Now." "You're Enough" is the only song I bag on, in which the intro always reminds me of a bunch of circus clowns and elephants for some reason. I love "Sailing On the Tide" which is the only upbeat song on the whole album. I could have done without the "fogie" chorus singers on some of the album's best tracks. This is The Carpenters and if you were a fan, you should add this to your collection. But be prepared to get very, very sad.
Is the review positive or negative?
