Title: Too cloying for my taste
Review: I bought this as audio cassette in 1989, after having heard a friend play the catchy "No Crime" and "Tender Lover". After playing it in my car for a week or two, I came to the realization the the rest of the tape bored me out of my skull and didn't even qualify for background music while driving. Had the the 40-second instrumental clip of "Where Will You Go" been expanded to a full track there would be a third worthwhile song here. That points up the problem: The instrumental arrangements are well done, and there is no denying Babyface's vocal talent, but the lyrics are just too cloying.If that sort of thing gives you a happy emotional vibe, and you already own every recording made by Barry White, then by all means take the advice of all the other rave reviews here. But if your tastes are more mainstream, just get MP3's of the first two songs and skip the rest. That is my task for today, digitize MP3's of the first two songs and drop the tape back into storage.
Is the review positive or negative?
