Negative Positive
Title: Pretty bad. However.....
Review: Let me preface this "review" by saying that this record is awful. I am not a fan or Mr. Manilow, and I find him extremely boring and unimaginative. However, as I gave this record 2 stars, there must be some redeeming factor going on here, eh?Absolutely. Although the songs he takes writing credit for on this release are without exception fairly terrible (painful, even) Manilow's rendition of "Cloudburst" on side A (a tune he did not write) is beautiful. There's really not enough I can say about this song. Witty, silly lyrics, brilliantly interesting arrangement, and Manilow's vocals actually work well within the song.For the love of god, please do not buy this CD. It's still horrible. However, if you happen to come across the LP at the Salvation Army for a buck or two pick it up, if only for "Cloudburst".
Is the review positive or negative?
