Negative Positive
Title: Fusoid Funk band
Review: Level 42, a fusion-esque funk band w/minor pop flavorings before this 1986 offering, manages to keep much of its roots in this top-40 essenced album. "Something About You" deserves its top-10 spot, and the remake of "Hot Water" is much better than the original (its video was featured on BET often when it debuted). Band head Mark King's extraordinary bass abilities fit well w/most of the album's tunes, especially "Good Man in a Storm." The only song that prevents 5 stars from me is the overly preachy, dreadful "The Chant Has Begun."
Is the review positive or negative?
