Negative Positive
Title: Somnambulistic
Review: The opening track, Let's Hang On, written to be sung by a man to a woman, is re-arranged for a man/woman duet in a way that destroys the meaning of the lyrics. The instumental portion is bland-ified in a way that is also completely out of touch with the original. And the rest of the CD goes downhill from there. It comes off as a bunch of hits arranged so as to be "safe" enough for the playlist at a smooth jazz station, and it just puts me to sleep. Not anywhere near the calibre of other Manhattan Transfer recordings.
Is the review positive or negative?
