Faith

Well, it's not terrible or offensive, but it's pretty bland. I'm quite prepared to believe it's his best work.

Great voice, not my taste

Some fun songs but don't see myself revisiting much from this.

Heavy 80's synths, sort of nostalgic to hear that but the songs do nothing for me.

From initial enthusiasm, just kept falling

Good “adult pop” I guess. Very 80’s sounding and a bit of filler. Faith is a banger though obviously.

Very good

80’s tastic. Done better by others

Gotta have faith

GOAT male vocalist. Crap, cheesy album.

If I wanna listen to Michael Jackson I just do that

2.1 - wanted to like it, but just not a style I enjoy. Appreciate the soulfulness, but even songs like Faith are too stilted and stop-n-go for my taste.

Singing often sounds good, the music, not so much. One or two songs I think I could save on this album, at best. And I´m not entirely sure I would.

This was ok, there were some really great songs on there, but I thought they were really frontloaded and the thing sort of petered out.

I know that is my fault, but I don't like almost anything from George Michael. It sounds like a fake in some way that I can't explain. On another hand, listening to his whole album was a good experience. Nothing really changed in my opinion, but I can enjoy a little bit more when I get some of his songs in some random playlist now when I know that this is really not my kind of sound

Couldn't get a handle on it

Pretty generic.

80s sound good album

Telltale sounds of the 80s. Not my cup of tea at all, but a couple of standout tracks that chatted well

Can hear the talent, but it’s just not for me.

Not even sure if Faith is a good song

This album had some amazing singles, classic George Michael songs that I've always loved. But the rest of it is so meh. It comes out strong with Faith, Father Figure, and I Want Your Sex, but the rest of it just felt like filler.

I listened to this on a plane with crappy headphones, but I don't think it mattered. I'm not a fan of all the treble and the fact that all the music sounds like it was played on a Casio keyboard. The subject matter also got old after awhile - I get it, George liked to have sex. Still - some good songs. Father Figure (although super creepy) has a nice hook. Faith is a classic pop song. It's not "bad" - it's just not good.

I was soooo excited when this started. And then after all the fun funk of the brass and bass at the end of the quintessential sex-pressure song, it just petered out. But I do love me “Kissing A Fool.” The rest is disappointing.

Oof. I want your sex has not aged well.

Everything that follows the title track is a massive disappointment. A few fleeting moments here and there but on the whole genuinely surprised at how dull and flat this album was

A difficult album to get through from an artist who can do better.

Title track is a banger, the rest is just meh

Not a great album. Not the best I've heard of George Michael

Not for me. Enjoy Wham! Much better.

Aggressively mediocre. Just dull pop

Not horrible, but glad it's over.

Niet mijn ding.

Super goede stem maar te erge 80s boomer vibe

meh.

A couple of good points, weighed down by oh so much late-80s nonsense.

Gay

2.5

Good voice but didn’t love the music or lyrics as much

Ehhhhh

Not my jam.

i like 3 songs of his! lets see the tracklist. okay kissing a fool is here. okay ive heard faith so many times but i didnt know it was a song of his. skipping instrumental and different versions cause time is precious. songs are okay but kissing a fool is the only one are truly like. a last request sounds nice but dude rape date songs where A Thinggg

Cigarettes After Sex! 80erPop für die Horizontale! Ist das Ganze erstmal abgeklungen, bleibt bei mir aber nicht viel hängen. Zugegeben: George Michael hat eine beachtliche voluminöse Stimme gehabt. Trotzdem bleibt mir hauptsächlich der Wham-Kulturbeutel von Kumpel Thorsten in Erinnerung!

Title track is a banger, the rest is just meh

Zit nogal weinig in.

The title track is a tune. The rest, meh.

Title track is too good for rest of the album. It is a 5* banger test is forgettable dross.

I was so glad when I saw that this was the remastered version. I just relished in the way the synthesizers were so damn crisp and bold! I could feel their electric vibe in my toes. Not everybody feels it but everybody should. With a title like "Faith" I really expected some wholesome religious based tunes but was shocked when I realized a lot of the songs have to do with ese ee ex. I expected more from a man with a cross hanging from his ear lob. Going with two stars just cause I wanna save one star In case a new kids on the block album pops up

Wasn't feeling it. Remastered version sounded odd as well

Never really liked it. 2 stars because it isn't unlistenable.

Starts off well with the leading singles, but quickly becomes more average. The songs are average, lyrics lack substance, and the only thing saving them is good production and the vocal performance. The album does not excite me for more George Michael.

Not good

ALL TIME BANGERS. lol. But, a good pop record of its era.

Didn't care for this too much. One thing which did suprise me was George's voice is pretty good, and would probably be better if backed by different music, and not the 80s synth.

80's

I don't want to hate on this because there's some good music on here but the songwriting is just a constant flow of absolutely pathetic begging for sex type bullshit. Shut up. Edit: Okay, he's gay. I'm gay too and I don't wanna hear this.

What if the Michael Jackson songs I don’t like sounded even worse.

مو حلو🫩

This album made me take a break from this list. I don't need more white boy RnB. I don't need another dollar-store Michael Jackson (I don't even like Michael Jackson to begin with!). I don't need another pop singer that thinks that singing like they just ran a marathon makes them sound seductive. This album is like if you took all of the bad aspects of modern pop music and created an album out of it. The inability to talk about anything other than sex and relationships in the most shallow way possible, the ridiculousness of the music when it does try to tackle social issues (Hand to Mouth tries to be about poverty but just comes across as voyeuristic when paired with the album's singing and production), the complete lack of restraint when it comes to slathering painfully 80s synths everywhere, the lyrics that make you astonished that a grown adult wrote them, it's all on display here. Honestly some of these tracks, I probably would've liked if they were instrumental. I have a soft spot for cheesy synths and some of the rhythm on here is genuinely good. But then George Michael has to ruin it with his pseudo-ASMR singing and laughable attempts to get in my pants. I don't understand how anyone can think *bweep bweep bweep* I WANT YOUR SEX is hot in any way. Also what the fuck is up with Father Figure? That doesn't make me want to sleep with you, that makes me want to call the police.

todo muy lento y ochentoso.

This is gay. Alright, it was the most zesty attitude filled funky style thing that was just too weird to take seriously.

Boy does this take me back to the 80s. I hated this music back then, and I hate it double now. I don't have a lot of 1 star reviews but my god I hate this crap. I think I need some Iron Maiden to cleanse my ears.

Annoyed me when it came out and remains annoying to this day. The influence of this is The reason pop music has sucked for the past 40 years.

Title track is great, the rest is mostly shit

Aïe... je crois que c'est la première fois que je déteste un album de cette liste. Je ne comprends vraiment pas ce qu'il fait là. Y'a rien qui va. Déjà, George Michael est mielleux, mais un truc de fou, c'est insupportable. Et musicalement, c'est affreux. C'est à la fois pas recherché du tout et ultra-formaté, c'est absolument sans âme. Dès le départ, tu sais que ça va être inintéressant et quand tu arrive à I Want Your Sex (déjà, quelle idée d'appeler une chanson comme ça, ça fait beauf à en crever) et que tu vois que ça dure 9 minutes, tu as envie de crever. Et alors attention, au niveau des paroles, ça envoie du pâté entre les "Sex is fun, sex is natural" et "I'm not your father, I'm not your brother", tu te demandes si ça n'a pas été écrit pas un gosse de 10 ans. Et avec la chanson d'après qui est une chanson d'amour d'un élève à sa prof (oui oui, on reste dans le bon goût), tu te dis que finalement, c'est plutôt cohérent. Le reste, ça ne mérite même pas qu'on en parle tellement c'est anodin. Cet album, c'est un peu comme du riz sans assaisonnement, sans épices. Alors oui, ça va pas te piquer la langue, mais par contre, c'est barbant et au bout d'un moment, tu as hâte d'en avoir fini avec ton assiette, parce que même si c'est pas affreux, c'est pas non plus très agréable. Le pire des albums que j'ai entendus sur cette liste depuis le début, nul.

Second album proposé, j'avais détesté le premier (noté 1/5). Ce nouvel album est tout aussi ennuyeux, inintéressant et beaucoup trop long. Arrêt au 3eme morceau. =>1/5

The '80s are a polarizing decade when it comes to music, in part simply because there is so much variety. Lots of good and bad music was made. This is an example of the latter, but what else do you expect from mainstream pop. I especially did not enjoy hearing the same synths, drum machines, and various new wave-y bits and inflections (I wish I knew the proper music terminology) I recognize from some of my favorite music being used in the blandest pop songs with weirdly creepy lyrics.

Nah not really my kinda thing. Faith is a good tune though.

Over-produced annoying 80s pop. 1.0/5.0: Embarrassing

Inascoltabile

Klingt alles irgendwie billig und schlecht gealtert.

trash and not for me

I hate his voice. But i listened to a few bits of a few tracks to give the album a chance - and made me feel like I wanted to immediately take a shower and wash him off. Slimey. Ugh.

oh boy! echoey vocals, cheesy synths, no bottom or weight to the sound at all, corny lyrics! all the beautiful sounds of the 80s, and they come complete with george michael's vacuous, bland voice! maybe I'm just not the right kind of gay to like this (I'm the kind with good taste)

Schmaltzy, synthy, 80s pop ballads, the kind of thing I hate. Although it doesn't come across to me in the presentation at all, apparently these songs are all heartfelt and personal, and not the musical Barnum statements which they seem to be.

Bruh has two first names

I don’t understand why this fella was so highly rated. Hate his breathy voice so much. Don’t like his song writing. And I wish he’d stop going on about wanting sex.

Schlock

no

Orket ikke høre ferdig. Enten er det klissete ballader eller så er det «I want your body, I want your sex»

heteroseksuaali? homoseksuaali? ei, olen jumalaseksuaali.Joka päivä koulussa hengailen sen uuden tyypin kanssa, joka SATTUUU olemaan edes jollain tapaa viehättävä (koska hänellä ei ole ystäviä), ja kun palaan kaveriporukkaani, minulle sanotaan, että olen luultavasti ihastunut uuteen tyyppiin. MUTTA EN OLE! Nämä ääliöt pilkkaavat minua joka päivä, koska hengailen sen hieman viehättävän uuden tyypin kanssa, mutta he kaikki tietävät sen, EN OLE HOMO! Edes nettifoorumeilla en ole turvassa, ystäväni jäljittävät minut ja postaavat koko maailmalle, että "@mrnotgay on homoseksuaali mies, joka on kiinnostunut uudesta tyypistä koulussa!" Eivätkä he ymmärrä! EN OLE HOMO! Ja luulisi, että olen turvassa kotona, mutta jopa VANHEMPANI luulevat, että olen ihastunut tähän tyyppiin, ja he kysyvät minulta joka päivä "miten poikaystävä voi", ja se ärsyttää minua! faith

Off the cuff remark: Help Hated it when it was released. Hasn't changed. Standout Track: Faith is kind of catchy I could grudgingly say but ... Revisit?: Not if you paid me

just terrible

I’ll happily grant that he’s got a great voice, but man the songwriting and 80s production style didn’t please me at all

This album is a parody of itself.

This album is nasty and not in an enjoyable way

I like Queen too George, but the 80s pop production on this is making my ears bleed. And what the hell is going on with the songwriting here? There's a whole five minute track dedicated to unpacking the "monkey on your back" idiom (Why can't you do it? / Why can't you set your monkey free? /Always giving into it / Do you love the monkey or do you love me?), after we're done begging for sex in the most appalling way imaginable (Sex is natural sex is good/ Not everybody does it/ But everybody should/ Sex is natural sex is fun/ Sex is best when it's one on one). I don't think the young gentleman you're singing to will appreciate the implications of that last line George, and frankly neither do I. This is commercial and mindless, and the sound has aged so poorly that I can't imagine what anyone could still get out of this record unless they're nostalgic or looking to get turned out by George Michael.

This sounds like a bad Prince record. Overproduced 80s pop.

Not my kind of 80s that I like a lot. Had a few good songs but otherwise it was okay.

- All for a gay icon who could sing with the best of them, but these lyrics are giving me (as the youth would say) "the ick." - I did not mind "Hand to Mouth."

Well. This feels like one that I won’t like. The fact that I’m already stuck for words is not a good sign. I’m not a religious man, but I imagine I’ll feel as though I’ve been through the march to Golgotha after this one fades into the ether. This is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. So that’s a good start. A disgustingly thin production, annoying lyrics, whispered vocals leading up to terrible honky-tonk guitar solo? Sweet christ. Give me faith. See the whispering works way better on this song. I don’t really like the weird incestuous theme of the song, but after being ywaterboarded by “Faith,” this was a gasp of the fetid torture chamber air. Except it has gone on FAR too long. A 9 minute, 2 part epic with some god damn funkiness to lead off. Oh hell yeah. Oh hell no. I can’t with his vocal. Oh the platonic friends anthem. Hey, remember how I pretended to be friends with you? Yeah all those interests I pretended to have??? Yeah that was for the express purpose of accessing an orgasm with you vaguely present. Cool? Here, I wrote a song about it! Check it out. The alien freakout section around 2:30 would be so incredible in a song that’s more fun. Here, it’s an oasis in this desert of lameness. People who are this open about sex weren’t hugged as children. Prove me wrong. Next. Alright. The ballad is nicer. Strong vocals. Simple. Honestly, a good song. Hard Day? You’re telling me, George. From the Spotify tracks reading “From ‘Babygirl’” to actually listening to this thing, it’s been tough. Another stinkpile. Ugh. Latin infused darkness romp. Depeche (Easy) Mode. 10 years too late on this one. Better, albeit still far too poppy. This is just not for me. Monkey good. Oo Oo AH AH AH. My monkey brain likes the rhythm. My actual brain says that I’m bored. This one is like that other song that’s rhymes “do it and to it.” Relax! That’s it. Anyway. It’s fine. Monkey noise outro!!!!! Good. Some vocal jazz? A smoky club is clearing out, and yes, it’s because it’s overrun with chimps from the last song. They should’ve added several sound effects indicating that the loose monkeys were mauling the panicked concert goers. That’s what you get for thinking “Faith” would be good. The overarching church and religious theme is interesting. A commitment to a concept like that is not something I would expect with anything for the masses. Even the inclusion of organ on some tracks, the themes stayed on topic for much of it, which is admirable in a sense. Another admirable piece of this album is the musical variation. For a pop album, the percussion and instrumentation went everywhere. A lot of synth obviously, but it was layered with interesting percussion and strings throughout. Now let’s get into how I really feel. I don’t care about this. It’s pop for radio play and billboard charting which is not music to listen to in album format. I hated much of the lyrical content, the music was corny to my ear, albeit different, and I just didn’t gel with any aspect of this. Whoever this is for, it’s not me. Would not listen to again. Ever. I’m calling the adoption service. I need a new father figure. 1.5 HIGHLIGHTS: One More Try, Monkey (not a threat)

No thanks

not my style. couldnt listen to much of it.

I developed a really fun way to get through the back half of this album - working out which song I hated the most! It was Hand to Mouth Father figure is a good song and he shows that he can actually sing on this track - this seems to be from the era where an album was released to give the singles somewhere to live. I can only imagine how dead inside everyone must have been watching the tour for this album while he moaned over the top of a shitty repetitive electronic drum track.... If unclear, I am not a fan

Tedious, bland, derivative and unoriginal pop. Lyrically puerile. Michael Jackson ("Off the Wall", "Thriller", "Bad") or Prince ("1999", "Purple Rain"), all of which are echoed here, do this sort of thing so much better. George Michael has a good voice but the arrangements and backing are plodding at best. 1/5.

Not sure why this is in the list…

Album nul oubliable avec cette sonorité Prince mais fade ahhhh

Listen to the title track and you’ve heard the whole album.

1.5 way too 80s. Faith is the only song worth listening to

Nope

This brought me back to my Grade 9 year. I hated my Grade 9 year and this album. Nothing's changed. Blech.

Gave it a chance thinking he was a target of toxic masculinity but his music is actually just bad

Did not finish...

Crap

Fucking awful.

I think Faith is a good song, and I think George Michael has a few solid tracks that put him above most of the similar 80s pop act. None of the other good songs were on this album though, this was mawkish crap. Think he really wants to be Prince, very similar cringey sexual lyrics and unmemorable music that seems to be forgotten in the aim to sound very emotional. Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't listen again, wouldn't put it on this list, 1.

Why is every song around 5 minutes long? Conceptually, they are incredibly thin. Stretching each one out with long intros, fades out, multiple repetitions of the chorus; all serve to make this album incredibly irritating. I'd wager that if each song was 3 minutes long, even that bizarre Monkey one, this album would creep towards listenable. Even Faith, at a bit over 3 minutes, overstays its welcome. Maybe a product of the times? That being said, I didn't mind Look At Your Hands.

Faith isn't bad but the rest of the album is pretty awful. I want your sex is hilariously bad. The monkey song confused me. Why can't I set it free? Sorry George

Fucking terrible

Hated this when it was released. Haven't changed my mind in the slightest almost 40 years later. Crappy danceable canned rhythms? Check. Grossly overused synth-imitated instruments? Check. "Controversial" lyrics about fucking that will garner some media attention? Check. This is formulaic, throwaway, '80s pop music-industry garbage.

This very 80s-sounding pop album is not for me. The opening track, “Faith”, is decent enough and pretty catchy…but then it’s downhill from there. The 9 minute “I Want Your Sex” was kinda cringey to me (“I’m not your father, I’m not your brother”) and ran on very long. Monkey was a ridiculous song. He’s a good singer and the music is decent, but doesn’t really hold my attention. I have no doubt that George Michael is very talented, just not very entertaining to me.

Ugh! Awful synth pop with a pervasive drum machine providing a very dated 80s backbone to some pretty dire songs. There's only so far breathy vocals and uninspired R&B can get you. Nothing here to push this above 1 star.

Sadly no zero score option.

Not good

ugh no

Would rather listen to the Limp Bizkit version

A well produced album that just isn't really my thing. Admittedly this is my first time listening in it's entirety. Faith is a catchy single, easily the strongest song on the album. Father Figure is a boring and forgettable ballad. I Want Your Sex is trying so hard to be a Prince song, and it falls short. One More Try is a solid 80s ballad and does a good job of showcasing George's voice. Kissing a Fool is decent, and shows what could have been if he hadn't gone the pop route. The rest of the album is pretty bad and forgettable.

Really not my style, I got pretty bored

I hated it so much.

Ruined my drive home.

Really really not my thing, didn’t even get through the album

Not for me

Never been a fan of synth pop, or tht kind of funky, soul thing so in the begenning its not my kind. so Honneslty i listen to it a bit, not enterly but i don't apreciate it very much

Didn't enjoy any track off this album. Generally just slimy and creepy.

'Faith' was a great track. Confused all us indie kids, everyone liked it but we were too cool to admit it. The rest of the album was pretty mediocre. The passage of time has done it no favours, lots of it just sounds creepy now.

Fuck off.

HA! GAAAAAAYYYY!!

Automatically this album loses a star for the god awful cover art, however, I would say I am on the side of plesantly surprised. There's some very crisp production here that kinda makes this hard not to like, despite that, I made it 2.5 tracks before I could no longer stand to listen to this

Didn't seem to try very hard at certain points.

Yea, no thanks.

I listened to "Listen Without Prejudice" before, and that was a real decent album. This? This isn't it.

Nope. Hated it then, hate it now.

Not my cup of tea...

Goto.

Noch ein George Michael-Album? Habt ihr ne Macke? Ich habe dann sogar geschafft, es durchzuhören. I Want Your Sex scheint sich damals™️ bei mir eingebrannt zu haben, ich wusste, auch wenn ich den Song in diesem Jahrtausend höchstwahrscheinlich noch nicht gehört habe, immer noch die rhythmischen Breaks mitzusingen (c-c-c-c-c-c-cum on!). Faith und Look At Your Hands finde ich noch ganz gut, den Rest nicht weiter erwähnenswert. Zu Prince und Jackson fehlt, obwohl er das Niveau nachweislich angepeilt hat, noch eine Stufe. Bei Prince wäre das programmierte Schlagzeug nie einfach so durchgelaufen.

Truly awful

There’s a lot that I like about Mr Michael as a public figure, and the opening track is a great pop song. However, about 4 tracks in I felt it was all a bit Prince-lite. Soul pop is really not my thing, and the songs here did nothing for me. I don’t think I really need a ‘grown-up’ Wham! in my life. Bland and uninspired.

Genuinely could not finish this. Absolute garbage. No idea why this was ever popular.

This album should be called Kinky and Confused. Musically it had a lot of fun moments, and I did quite like the remastered mix. But that gets overshadowed by a landfill of lyrics and themes that seem starving and malnourished. Starving for what? Like how the narrator here REALLY wants sex like really bad. So much so he puts it as his last request of the album. At least Hand to Mouth was somewhat compelling in its message, only to be followed up by 2 of the worst tracks. Look at Your Hands sounds like a comeback written by a pre-teen. Where Monkey just leaves you scratching your head and asking why. I guess the lesson here is never write an album on an empty stomach.

No bueno for me

Yeah I can't get through this.

Skvip fra ende til annen. Skippet mye. Tracks: Faith er faktisk jævlig god stemning. Motivational morning montage fra 80 tallet. Father figure: for noe dritt! I want your sex: må innrømme at jeg digget rytmeseksjonen litt fra starten av men ellers bare dust. One more try: 😴😴😴 Hard day: digg lyd på bassen. Ikke sp mye annet positivt å si Hand to mouth: 🫠 Look at your hands: ålreit sound her (er mulligans bare skada av de forrige låtene). Rævva tekst igjen, men liker noen strofer som “you got two fat children and a drunken man / betcha don’t like your life” 🤠 … orket ikke mer

Yo

DNF

No.

i thought this album was uninteresting. "Monkey" and "Hard Day" maybe approximated a decent song.

Not my cup of tea

Awful. Songs aged poorly and made me feel uncomfortable. Would rate 0/5 if I could.

More kitsch than anything else. Pretty brazen for him to release songs with the lyrics "sex is natural, sex is fun" during the height of AIDS awareness. But I was 5 so what do I know.

Kolejny album od pana Michaela Geogrga, czyli od czlonka jednej z najpopularniejszych band lat 80, czyli WHAMu, w ciagu 5 lat dzialalnosci wypuscili tyle synthowo popowej muzyki i udalo im sie trafic tyle hiciorcow, co wiekszosci artystow nie ustrzeli w ciagu dziesiecioleci dzialalnosci artystycznej, ale jak to z geniuszami nie chca spoczywac na laurach, wiec pan george na samym szczycie whamowej kariery doeszedl do wniosku, ze splituja bande i bedzie robil muzyke samemu, wynikiem tego splitu jest wlasnie faith, jest tym wszystkim czym byl wham i czyms jeszcze, a tym czyms jest odrobienie lekcji z pana jacksona i princea, bo ten album doslownie wyciska ekstrakt thrillerowy, dodaje do niego purple raina, a persona dzordzowa wnosi ducha ultra czada lat 80, synthowe brzmienie, polaczone z chwytliwymi popowymi tekstami, ktore oczywiscie ociekaja tym co najlepiej sie sprzedaje, a wiec seksem, juz z samej okladki pan george atakuje iscie jojowa, nie jest to jedyna rzecz ktora wniosl na plyte, bo jako geniusz multiinstrumentalista gra zarowno basiki i klawisze, produkuje, miksuje, aranzuje traki, wiec tak jak na poprzednim numerze ktory mialem okazje sluchac one man show, do tego wykorzystanie XX muzykow studyjnych slychac na kazdym traku, ale tym razem utrzymane jest to w bardziej komercyjnych ramach wizji, pan dzordz chyba nie powtorzyl nigdy sukcesu whamowego, ale jednak sprzedal sie dobrze nawet solowo, ale ta plyta nie oferuje nic ciekawego czego juz nie slyszalo sie u czarnych funkowo soulowych artystow, bo pan george to jeden z tych farbowanych lisow, ktory pomimo swojej bialosci tworzy muzyke iscie czarna, ale jak kopiowac, to tylko najlepszych w biznesie, zeby nie zgubic tak cennego picka na plejke leci tytulowy faith, ktory brzmi jak cos co paasowaloby swietnie na ending jojolionowy, moze za 20 lat okaze sie, ze mialem racje i akurat trafi na faith

Faith is not a ‘bad’ album but considering the albums that this list lacks, it has no right to be here. Its not for me, not at all.

Not for me

non of the fun of Wham and certainly none of the snappy snaps or cottaging fun.

Besides a few songs you feel like you're listening to the same thing over and over again. Lyrics are meh, besides 1 or 2 songs. Definitely not my style.

Erm... Yeah, George Michael, the least talented one from Wham! Andrew Ridgeley's post-Wham! albums were so, so much better. The world just hasn't realised yet.

No, just no

Insoportable, no lo di escuchado entero.

A few good songs but a lot more 80s cheese

Our second GM album in a month! This time I took a different approach. I read about this groundbreaking album: the sales records it set; the awards it won; the critical acclaim; the fact that GM produced the album & played most of the instruments. Alas,I gave it the same score.

A mi George Michel ni fu ni fa. És un bon cantant, té alguns hits inapelables, però un àlbum sencer se'm fa bola i m'acaba cansant. Entenc l'èxit comercial en el seu moment, el seu canvi d'imatge i l'impacte de segons quines cançons (també en bona part per les lletres). Però no puc acabar-lo.

Nope

Track 1 - yeah yeah, I remember, 80's cheese, guitars are nice and jingly. #2. ungh. trying not to skip. 5.5 minutes? skip. #3. 9 minutes of nope. skip. #4. Look, I don't like George Michael. I didn't like Wham. Pop garbage getting a 1 star.

Not a huge fan of George Michael. Not enjoying this album really. Just bad 80s pop.

Not nice

What a single
