Title: The Bangles Get Boring
Review: From their very first single (back when they were just "The Bangs"), I bought the Bangles' records as soon as they were released. I was never disappointed until this, their last album. The group gets all dolled up for the cover with glamorous looks, then attempts to sound more "mature" and "adult," and as a result they put out this lackluster album. It is overproduced, saccharine, and just boring. The only song that I think is really worthy is the Michael Steele song "Complicated Girl," a simple melody with great '60s harmonies and sparse production compared to the other excesses like "Eternal Flame." Go with one of the earlier albums instead.
