Title: Destruction Complete!
Review: After firing Ross Valory and Steve Smith, Steve Perry produced what essentially sounded like a Steve Perry solo album. If you love 80s cheesy synths and robotic percussion then this is for you. If however, you were a fan from the pre-Perry days, this represented the complete demise of the original spirit of the band. Although this record leans toward R&B, Perry, stadium rock god that he was, was no Sam Cooke and the music lacks authenticity. "Be Good to Yourself" reminds of past glories, but "Suzanne" is painful and plastic.
