Negative Positive
Title: Hooky? Yes. Good? No.
Review: Palmer's schlock rock is appealing in kind of a guilty way, but he's one of the artists where you'd rather have the Weird AL parody version, his lyrics are that inane. His eighties hard pop posturing is similar in tone to J Geils or ZZ Top, although more generic than either. The big track is `Simply Irresistible' which isn't. `Change is Ways' steals it's riff from `The Lion Sleeps Tonight', but Palmer even flubs this infectious sound. If you feel the need to own some of this stuff, I'd suggest a comp, no Robert Palmer stands up to repeat listening.
