Title: don't waste your money!
Review: I bought this lp on vinyl today ...in Melbourne. I should have known better seeing 1.) the date 1988 and 2.) the Quincy Jones executive producer tag (don't get me wrong, I LOVE Quincy Jones, but he's made a few clangers in his time e.g the 1981 Donna Summer fiasco). This album is a perfect showcase of some of the worse excesses of 80s music. If you lived through the period it may bring back a few unwelcome nightmares. Clanging drum machines, booming growler vocals, and every sort of production trick that producers Rod Temperton and Dick Rudolph can bring out of their box of tricks. There is absolutely nothing original, refreshing or noteworthy about this record. Siedah's vocals sounded much lovelier on her duet with Michael Jackson. If you are looking for the same kind of sound you won't find it here. We're talking major turkey. I actually suspect that LaToya may have elbowed her way into the studio and started barking orders.
Is the review positive or negative?
