Faith

Absolutely amazing

This album is more than your run of the milk 80s pop album. It is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac at times while able to draw on a wide range of influences such as gospel, club, and blues music. George Michael’s sex positive message is also interesting given the AIDS crisis at the time. Overall a very enjoyable and interesting album.

George Michael really just can’t do anything wrong in my eyes. I guess I’m just biased.

Enjoyed, would listen to it again

I thought this would put me in a gyrocopic sex mood but not really honestly a little underwhelming. Maybe it needs another listen but not up to the fuck snuff.

JORGEEE MIGUEL

this guy wants to be Prince but he is no Prince

Soothing music, though slightly ridiculous at times. "I want your sex" - seems like the least imaginative way to be provocative. Faith is a great song though. In all, I was bored by the end of the album.

This album deserves to be up there with the big iconic albums of the 80s. You can definitely hear the echoes of Michael Jackson and Prince, but there's so much more going on here than mere emulation. A brave, bold synthesis of styles. Above all, it is genuinely fun to listen to. You can tell he had a great time making it and that joy is contagious.

George Michael has a good voice, but this style of sensual pop is not interesting to met at all, reminds me a bit of Prince in some ways I suppose. I guess I'm only into Careless Whisper due to how meme-y it is now.

sings like he's having sex right there in the recording studio - it's a bit much

Old Favorite

Not bad, little weird but I think it was a good listen

Respect GM, but not really my style.

Good poppy fun

The 80s generated the most consistently good pop music, and I will fight anybody that tries to tell me otherwise. With that in mind, I was very happy to get this as my album for the day today! Songs I already knew: Faith Favourite after listening: Faith, I Want Your Sex Pts. 1 & 2 Overall: 7/10 There are some fantastic songs on this album, but as we get to the middle point and towards the end, the songs do tend to get a little less interesting. The album does feel quite front-loaded, with all the best songs being the first ones you hear with the only exception being Kissing A Fool which is a breath of fresh air with its smooth jazz piano. With all of this in mind, it was still a very enjoyable album. It’s frankly a crime that the synths popular in the 80s are rarely used any more. Would recommend to anybody who enjoys camp 80s pop - although I’d be surprised if anybody with that taste hasn’t already heard it!

Faith is a great song, however the rest of the album was not my cup of tea. 3.5

Faith by George Michael is just short of a greatest hits record for him. I remember when this album was released the fury that it created. It's still such a powerful listen for the big hits + One More Try alone. 4/5.

I was torn between giving this one 1 or 2 stars. It seems like a mix of the very worst of the backlogs of Michael Jackson and Elton John with a few snippets of half-assed jazz and funk thrown in. Definitely not the worst, but still very bad.

No bueno for me

Classic pop album!

Really cheesy and not in a good way. I didn't dislike it, just not my thing.

This album reminded me of watching pop up video in the mornings before school, but it was my first time spending significant time listening to George Michael. I found some of the lyrics clever but most just had me rolling my eyes. Faith is probably the only song I would seek out to revisit, but of course being a 2002 graduate, I prefer the Limp Bizkit cover.

This wasn't an unpleasant listen, but I've never been a huge George Michael fan. Obviously "Faith" is a great listen, although I subscribe to the unpopular opinion that the Limp Bizkit cover is better (lol). I also like "Father Figure" The rest of the album was pleasant but not really my style. Also being told over and over that he wants my sex got a bit played out.

Not really my taste. The title track is catchy though.

I mean a great album. I will always enjoy a George Michael album because of his voice and connection with him in queer identity. Long live a legend

Very soft pop, decent vocals but felt a little cheesy

7 out of 9 songs are singles! I know it’s George Michael but still very overkill… The title track/ opener/ massive single is a very good single very upbeat sounding but I’ve never really loved the song fully still nice though. Father figure is a much slower track it keeps the same seal of quality the last song has which is good (I was expecting it to plummet into shit like the culture club album does). I really like that this album of straightforward pop has a nine minute multi parter so I early on! Is what I thought instead its a disguise for two separate not brilliant tracks to be honest I could live without this song. I haven’t got to the album’s closer yet but one more try really sounds like it should end an album it’s so epic and heavenly sounding will be a nice reference point for later. I didn’t mind hard day it’s very funky and very bass heavy and there’s a chilling synth that sometimes gets added in the mix that gives the song a lot of flavour. Hand to mouth instrumentally is rather boring (instead of the bridge) but lyrically it’s got good lyrics. Look at your hands is groovy and probably one of my favourites so it’s a shame this wasn’t a single. I don’t really like monkey too much it’s too electronic for my personal tastes but it’s a song where I completely get the appeal. Kissing a fool immediately made me think of the song Horsin’ around by prefab sprouts for sone reason but it’s a good song I kinda feel that one more try feels more climactic as a closer and I may have had this as the penultimate track but it’s still great.

Det var som det alltid är med geggan

Yeah I can't get through this.

Classic 80s sound. Good mix in styles of songs. Generally enjoyable listen but wouldn’t listen through again.

Never realized how good a vocalist Michael was. This is a solid pop album that is really well mixed. Even the crooner track, Kissing a Fool was great.

Great pop from a star in mid-explosion.

Quite enjoyed the music and the melodies but the lyrics were a little too horny for me to really enjoy

some tracks are good for dancing, but overall not really my cup of tea

Definitely his best album. Gonna rate it high cause of the nostalgia.

while it is decent music, it gets dull and boring especially on the lyrical side after a few listens

A bit gay.. Not that there's anything wrong with that

The point where George Michael's career turned. A poor man's Prince and in desperate need of an editor

It's good, but I'm also, like, weirded out? But like, in a good way? So... that's good?

Really don’t know how George michael got so popular. Poppy garbage.

2.5/5

In 1998, George Michael came out of the closet after propositioning an undercover cop in a Beverly Hills public lavatory. His army of fans across the world were deeply shocked: they had no idea that, after all these years, George Michael was still in the closet. That indicates a bizarre fact about George Michael: his perception of his music seemed radically out of sync with the perceptions of both his fans and detractors. Throughout his time in Wham!, he oft claimed a political dimension to his and Andrew Ridgeley's songs, a political dimension that nobody in the world cared about whatsoever, liking Wham! as a fun pop duo making polystyrene pop hits for teenyboppers. All this is fine: it's for the best that you don't consider your political outlook in light of Wham Rap!. Anyway, George chafed at his inbalanced partnership with Andrew, leading to instances like Careless Whisper being a semi-detached release, credited to Wham! featuring George Michael. The inescapable split came in 1986, and Faith was the first album of George Michael's solo career. And then the George Michael paradox resurfaced: the newly liberated George Michael saw himself as a versatile, visionary 80s artist in the mould of Prince and Michael Jackson, whereas the rest of the world saw him as the bloke what was in Wham!, doing songs that they fully expected from the bloke what was in Wham!. Now remember, that's what his fans wanted, and it's not meant to be a slur. That said, it does show that George craved some form of credibility beyond the women in wine bars who had Wham! posters on their walls five years prior. So, in order to be fair to George, should we judge Faith on the level he set for himself? The album is clearly ambitious, starting with the Bo Diddley rhythm of Faith, and taking on soul, jazz, ballads, electrofunk and, with the CD version, dance. Now, eclecticism is not a virtue in and of itself, and the ecleticism of Faith strikes one as calculated. Specifically, it's calculated to sound like Prince. I have to be open with you lot, my brethren: I have no affection for Prince. Now is not the occasion to explain myself, but ask yourself this: in Little Red Corvette, not only does he slutshame the poor woman, he claims she carries round used condoms in her pocket. Who would walk around town with a used condom in their pocket, let alone more than one? Who would include such an incomprehensible detail in a song? But anyway, by default I prefer our George doing Prince than Prince doing Prince, but that is not much of an endorsement. However, it goes some way to explaining the paradox: our George didn't realise his ideas weren't especially original or profound, nor did he realise that nobody listened to him for originality or profundity, but because they found him fun. Take the title track: our George sought to make a rock 'n' roll pastiche and a declaration of independence after the breakup of Wham!. But he undercuts the latter with the opening lines, "Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body/ I know not everybody has got a body like you", causing George's audience to treat it as a cheeky, sexy ditty. Yes, I can see that our George thought he should start the song with a lure for the listener, but he didn't clock that the listener just wanted the lure and not the declaration. Better George's roguish grin than his showy posturing. And our George didn't realise that this album was not a revolutionary artistic statement, but an acceptable bit of upscale 80s pop. This album isn't really for me, but it is for plenty of others. It wasn't aimed for them, but does that matter? Have some perspective, detective.

16/08/2022 George Michael – Faith 2/5 A was quite excited to get something different after 3 60’s albums, and I never listened to George Michael albums before; but it has been kind of a disappointment. A pop album about sex and love (in that order), that is the summary. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing special, one of those commercial pop albums that doesn’t transmit anything more than its surface, and there is nothing I have gained from listening to it. Maybe it’s not for me, maybe I have had enough with 80’s sounds; but I didn’t like it. Faith – 3.5/5 A good pop song, catchy and danceable, but nothing special in my opinion. Father Figure – 2/5 Listenable but felt a bit hollow for a ballad. I Want Your Sex (Pts. 1 & 2) – 0.5/5 Why doing a 3/4-minute normal pop song? Let’s instead do a 9-minute song that sounds the same all the time about sex, why not. One More Try – 3.5/5 One of the songs I actually like in the album. Transmit infinitely better that Father Figure and have a better vocal performance. A negative point is that it is kind of generic. Hard Day – 2.5/5 Good vibes, but again the same theme. Nothing remarkable. Hand to Mouth – 3.5/5 Again, not bad, and I think is my favourite in the album because its rhythm and its originality in its music. But it still sounds like generic 80’s commercial pop. Look at Your Hands – 1.5/5 Not as bad as the 9-minute song, but I don’t like George performance here. And again, my favourite word in this review, generic. Monkey – 1/5 I don’t understand how this could be a single. I can’t handle this song. Kissing a Fool – 2.5/5 Sounds good, but again, generic and kind of hollow for me. At least it has a very good vocal performance. A Last Request (I Want Your Sex) – 1/5 And the album couldn’t finish without repeating its message, SEX with capital letters. I think I have never listened to a hornier album.

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

Ikke min smak. Altfor kitch. Ingen låter som skilte seg ut.

Like this album - evokes a certain time in my life.

Really pleasant surprise wasn’t expecting much but it is a decent pop album with some funk beats. Downside is all the songs are basically about sex except for faith

Too much George Michael for me

This album holds up pretty well. It has some great songs on it, all of which still work pretty well today. Some of the music is a bit dated because of the equipment that was used in the recording, but overall it's a charming record. I wouldn't put George Michael as one of the top acts of the 80s the way his album sales would suggest, but he was an excellent song writer. It's kind of crazy that some of his biggest hits were released as singles before this album came out and didn't appear on the album 4/5

Only knew Faith. The rest sounded like a mediocre 80s film soundtrack

Not bad 👍

i quite enjoyed the mellow sounds and overall vibe to the music which is strange because i usually don’t like these types of sounds however i thought it was calming and intriguing.

I could never connect with this album and still can't. Nothing is *bad* at all...just the combination of GM's overly-breathy vocals (just *sing* already - what a great voice he had when belting it out but i feel like 75% of the time he adapts this annoyingly-faux-intimate affected voice) and it all sounding so very 80s just still makes it just sort of wash over me. It's fine - I'd even say well or superbly-crafted - I just have absolutely zero chills or connection to any of it at all. 5/10 2 stars.

haha oh my god he’s so fucking sleazy on this, I love it

Fun 80s pop. George Michael is very passionate lol.

Peaks at the title (first) track for me. A bit lounge musicky

Faith capolavoro, bellissima anche Father figure. Un album molto vario e interessante.

Pop. Un par de megahits. Ni fu ni fa.

No era yo muy fan de George Michael. Pero se merece un 5.

I just thought i would find george michael more exciting. Its all a bit sparse. Not good sparse, dull sparse.

Listened to on 7/31/22 4/5 Favorite song: Faith, Father Figure This is a killer debut album and so entertaining! It was easy to listen to and mainly focused on sex and faith

A couple of bangers and a lot of good vibes

Such an awesome album with some classic, killer 80s tracks. What's not to love?!

I'll be honest, some amazing production and the Dolby Atmos remastering really elevated this to add a couple stars to an album I didn't think I would enjoy.

Great!

Not really my thing. I see why people like him though, but it just didnt sit with me. Maybe another time.

Makes you want to dance. Good album with a few misses

Overrated. It’s not bad but one of the best all time? Not even close. This was a right time, right place success.

Good classic hits, but that was it.

Aggressively '80s.

Lots of bops on this album. Understanding the meanings of some of the songs with an adult brain is semi-uncomfy.

Super echo-y Great lyrics “Sex! Hu-ahh!”

Yo

Faith – vilken klassiker hörrni! Father figure – backupkören är ju guld. Mycket trum-maskin asså. Men inte min smak.

Is ok

One of his finest albums

4.0 - It starts with back-to-back hits of which "Father Figure" is a highlight. It sags a little in the middle and then rebounds at the end with "Monkey." George Michael sounds particularly amazing on "Kissing a Fool."

It's probably fair to say that George Michael was trying to put some clear blue water between his Wham! pop image here. There's some great stuff on this album, and while I think the songwriting is great, this is not a perfect album. There are too many overblown love songs. George Michael's voice suits upbeat and poppy way better.

5/5 classic.

I remember this one very well from when it was popular in the late 80s. It's darn good stuff. Entertaining, fun, catchy pop. Great voice, outstanding performer, and contagious joy when he performed in the studio or live. Later in life, when I saw him in interviews and in guest appearances on sitcoms and other shows, I grew to appreciate how smart, funny, and cool he was. Really enjoy this album.

131223 18:16 3.5

Faith was the first time I'd ever liked a George Michael song, but the remaining songs left me cold. At the time I was a pub rock devotee with a dislike for anything that had a dance or electronic bent. How my tastes have changed. Anything with a bit of funk lures me in and this album oozes funk. Yesterday's album was that batshit crazy "There's a Riot Going On," which is the godfather of '70s funk. This is its sexy nephew.

There's no doubting that GM has a great voice and the sales figures are impressive but also tired by now, well past its sell-by date and pretty forgettable overall. “Kissing a Fool” is an all-time personal fave (how much more frequently one wishes these pop stars would go classic and/or cover traditional standards as it hihghlights [maybe flatters] their talent). "Hand to Mouth" is good, too, but much of the rest suffers from overpackaging and overexposure (which do go together, don't they?). Bright shining pop music so polished and sheeny that it's no wonder he wore shades. For all the shiny surface, the substance (if there was any) has long since died off.

17th June 2022 Listened in the office on a very warm and sunny Friday with Joe. Met ebbs, Coopy and Jevans for the cricket. Faith is an absolute classic, the rest of it quite disposable but lacked the energy of the great opener. 2.5 if I could.

Hit machine

This was inescapable in 1987. On some level audacious given the number of styles George Michael attempted, it essentially is a history of pop music in one album. Trivia point - this was the first album by a white artist to top Billboard's R&B album chart. 35 years later it holds up well

This is an album I wouldn’t have listened to much less liked when it first came out. Much too poppy. Years later I feel very differently. There are a lot of really good sounds here. Sounds very fresh. The songs really hold up. Sounds like Harry Styles could have released this yesterday.

The more I listened to this the more I liked it. I thought the production was excellent and that George Michael is a strong singer with a powerful presence. I also felt like I was learning about him as I listened. Great pop.

commercial pop shit next

got half way through it. kinda fun.

DNF

Highlights: Faith, I Want Your Sex. The rest feels like filler that hasn't aged terribly well.

I really don't understand the cover photo. Is he hiding from someone? Sad about losing his shirt? Did we catch him right when he started to take his jacket off? I enjoyed this more than I expected to. I never really listened to much solo George Michael except what the radio might have played. Faith is super catchy, as is Father Figure. Really all the songs are solid, I particularly like Kissing a Fool, which is lovely. I don't enjoy the lyrics as much, they strike me as a bit ... frank. But still catchy.

One of the biggest 80s pop stars, especially in the UK, but unfortunately more like a Forgotten Figure. Michael shifts into a more mature sound than his earlier fun Wham work. The production is still top of the notch: distinctively 80s between the synths, drums, and vocal style. They're a fair mix of funky dance tracks and personal adult contemporary. Some songs like "Hard Day" remind me of Prince. The last track had traditional pop jazz club vibes. It's all pretty decent. I enjoyed the synth effects, although it got a little too repetitive to warrant nearly every song going for 4-6 minutes. It also feels a little overcrowded, with hardly a moment to rest. Favorites: Faith, Hand to Mouth, Monkey, Kissing a Fool

ive listened to it before. i mean its george michael.

Meh

Good on you George for forging your own path. This album is not for me, Look at Your Hands was the one track that caught my attention.

I get why this album is included. It is great for its genere and time. It did not do much for me though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

No.

Can't say it blew me away

Buen álbum

Great album, bop after bop

It was okay

Meh. Not so good 80s music. Not really my taste

Great pop. The album has the sad ballads, the up-tempo songs. (7/10) FT: Faith, One More Try, Father Figure

Quintessential 80s. His vocals are amazing. The production is excellent. It has several hits.

4.5. Really good all around album, just not quite my fav

Faith and no more

"Faith" pretty much sums up pop music from the late 1980s. It's a pop record, of course, but the use of funk, R&B, synth-pop, blue-eyed soul and rock in instrumentation and production makes up for quite an eclectic album, an interesting achievement for George Michael in his first solo effort. Fully produced by himself, it has very personal lyrics tackling topics like sexuality and relationships that resonated internationally at the time and made "Faith" a very influential album that tell the history of his time.

Faith is great, but Father Figure is the real highlight here, such an awe-inspiring love song. The rest is a bit hit-and-miss.

Such a big deal when it came out, ubiquitous video play. It holds up, I think, a pop-crossover genre classic, though as I often feel with this sort of thing, the production is a little to slick, a seamless facade that excludes most of the true funk and soul.

Knew a few of these songs, good album overall, but nothing I'd listen to over and over

That's a healthy 3 o'clock shadow.

An extra mark because of the intro to Faith GM gets better with age

George Michael's Faith sounds like a good Michael Jackson album. It has a lot of swing, a strong vocal performance and a great mixture of funk and disco, but some of the timbres feel dated and somewhat annoying, and the slow paced tracks do not always deliver for me.

Yo. Faith fucks forever. RIP George Michael. HE was supposed to be a really stand up guy, I guess he was taking care of tons of people and kept it pretty lowkey. I love to hear that. Album is really solid Imo.

p570. 1987. 4 stars One of the great voices evolves from pop pretty boy into accomplished blue-eyed soul boy/singer/songwriter. Who would have thought the man who wrote Club Tropicana could move on to Father Figure? Not a weak track on this, although you can make a case that I Want Your Sex outstays its welcome and that Look At Your Hands is filler. This still sounds great today. Essential listening.

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

You know, this album was amazing in the context of the time. I watched a Behind the Music special about it, in fact. The two music videos that went into high rotation were pretty groundbreaking at the time. But I can't say that any of the music stuck with me.

omg its the careless whisper guy ok there were a few songs on here I hadn't realized I'd heard before but enjoyed them! I jammed along while listening but most of them didn't stick in my head or anything but overall very enjoyable

I feel so conflicted but . . . Father Figure is a bop . . . .

Quite fun and enjoyable, but as we listen to more of these I think that 4 stars is gonna be reserved for songs that get a song on to my playlist. But I certainly wouldn't be sad to hear some of these songs again.

I had only ever heard of Careless Whisper (which I loved) before this album. I was really pleasantly surprised by how good it was - George Michael has an unbelievable singing voice. It felt at times that the subject matter in the songs was a little samey, but Michael's voice absolutely carries this album to a solid 4/5, soft 5/5 for me.

“Faith”—going on good mood playlist. “Father figure”—daddy owo?? Other standout track: “Monkey.” I hadn’t checked out George Michael before because I despise “Last Christmas” but I see now that I was wrong

I don't think it was as good as the last album of George Michael's I got but it was still good if only for his voice in some songs. Faith is one of my fav songs of his

State of the art pop from the late ‘80s, with a plethora of sugar-high hooks and packaged like a consumer product. It’s hard to argue with the number of hits and sales, but I find the oversinging (close to outright hollering at times, and way too breathless and syllable-adding at others at other) bothersome. But the tinny, canned beats (“Monkey” and “Look at Your Hands”) just don’t hold up very well and like a lot of high-end pop music, it’s overproduced and plays to the lowest common denominator of popular taste (which makes for forgettable and short lifespan). On the plus side, his voice is so good on “Kissing a Fool” (just a beautiful song – best thing he ever did in my view and makes me wish for more of such); “Hand to Mouth” is a cool tune, too, more compelling than all of the hits. Still the emphasis of sales over musical quality makes me downgrade the 3.6 to a 3.

Have never listened to this whole album before and was really expecting not to like it. I really hate "I Want Your Sex" but everything else on the album is good to great. This would probably still be a 4 without that song but it really drags it down almost into 3 territory.

This is upper echelon pop music. The production on this album is very nice, tippity top notch.

Hubba bubba

Oof. This is peak 80s and not in a good way. Michael Jackson did it better. And he was way less sleezy. Which is saying something because Jackson? Eesh. But ol' Georgie boy here takes the sleeze cake. The whole album is just so slimy. Every single track feels gross. And that's even if you leave out "I Want Your Sex" which ... what the actual hell. I'm pretty sure this album gave my ears an STD.

Of its time and starts off strong with the pop hits and then gets into more ballady blue-eyed soul.

80's pop. Can't fault the title track but again, light funk, blue eyed soul just doesn't hit the mark. The fact that some critics say this is one of the best albums of the 80's says volumes either about that decade or those critics. I can't decide which. Best Tracks: Faith; Father Figure; I Want Your Sex - Pt.s 1 & 2

This album starts off strong but quickly dips into a slog. "I Need Your Sex" overstays its welcome by a lot (and get's a reprise?). Not sure what he was thinking there. "One More Try" is a snooze. "Hard Day" is an okay Michael Jackson song. Still, there is some fantastic music on this album. The production is great. Favorite Tracks: Hand to Mouth, Faith, Father Figure

Blech

Muito bom.

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

An anthemic and bombastic tale woven with George Michaels signature charm. An 80s pop monolith that stands as one of the decades finest pop music collections.

Was basically tantamount to committing cool-kid suicide by admitting to liking George Michael when I was younger. However, now I'm ready to come out of the closet. This album is pretty great. Wall to wall.

As a debut solo album entirely written and produced by Michael, this is quite the post-Wham! statement. Characterised by catchy melodies, lyrics with something to say, and funky bass, this is a brilliant soulful pop album. The opening three tracks of Faith/Father Figure/I Want Your Sex set the tone and the standard never substantially dips. The two ballads (One More Try/Kissing a Fool) come a good times providing breaks from the funkiness and allow Michael's beautiful vocal to wash over you. 4.5/5

One more try

Kudos to this LP for wearing its aggressively horny heart on its sleeve. Michael manages to get away with this in no small part to how endearing and catchy these songs are - some stray into standard cheesy ballad territory, but most keep things lively and interesting beyond what one would expect.

Great voice, not my taste

Totally not my style of music. But you cannot help but smile when listening to this. So full of passion and is just beautiful. And it does have some classic songs on it. A-

Looking down from a elegiac height, plenty of good beats but lyrically didn’t work for me.

This is really good. Definitely would give this album another listen. Or two. "Hand To Mouth" was a favorite.

Honestly, there isn't a song on this album that isn't a highlight. This album is certainly George Michael's strongest of his discography, and each track is built well enough that it can be retooled into a club banger (because this happened already)..and the under-appreciated Part 2 of I Want Your Sex legitimately slaps, with its big horns. Monkey was a powerhouse sleeper hit followed by Kissing a Fool, with its sexy-suave swing beat.

Buen disco

Classic

I was looking forward to this. It’s ok. Kinda repetitive stylistically speaking.

I liked it!

Some of the best singles of the 80s herein. As a full album, however, it just misses the mark for permanent inclusion in my rotation.

What an important album from the 80s. I can't believe I had only heard two (2!!) songs by George Michael before this. Anyway, a couple songs were meh, but the overall consensus from my brain was that this was a pretty good listen.

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

This album is a lot of fun. I was an early Wham! fan, neon sweatshirt and all. This album was a surprise and a delight when it came out because it was so different from anything George Michael had done before. It was very apparent at that point that he was a real talent and not just a haircut. It still gives me so much joy (and a little sadness) to hear this album today. It's a pretty flawlessly executed album with some outstanding singles, although some of the songs are stronger than others. For depth and musical quality, I think Listen Without Prejudice is a better album, but this one is probably the more entertaining of the two. Fave Songs: One More Try, Kissing a Fool, Father Figure, Faith, Hard Day, Monkey

Seems like an average pop album from the 80s. Faith is a fun song. Some of the others have a good rhythm too. It kinda decreases with excitement as it goes along. Overall pretty standard. 5.8/10

I am not familiar with GEORGE MICHAEL’s FAITH. I have only really been exposed to the WHAM!’s songs: "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", which I liked, and "Careless Whisper", which did not make a favorable impression on me at the time. At the time, I generally, dismissed WHAM! and therefore GEORGE MICHAEL as pop music. After listening to FAITH, I still liked the album, there are some great songs, especially the instrumentals. The “Faith” Instrumental reminds me of THE CURE. I was very pleasantly surprised how good GEORGE MICHAEL’s voice is and the music is pretty good, too.

Woof, I have never head an album so sexual with such religious branding. I kind of love it?! Hard to tell from a casual listen if it's intentionally ironic or if he just blends the two with no cares for puritan purity, but either way I'm here for it. I don't love the music itself, but it's not a bad time. 4 stars for sheer daring.

Very good

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

Blandito. Un poco aburrido.

From initial enthusiasm, just kept falling

Smooth funk sex

My brother is a big George Michael fan, and I don't mind the odd song. Of course I know Faith and there were a few other nice surprises in there. Considering I don't like 80s pop, pretty much in all cases, this was nice. It was bordering on a 4 if I'm honest.

Good old style album - takes you on a journey from Rocky songs to ballads, up tempo songs to really well written ones. enjoyable.

Great singer, reference of the '80 music.

mais um erro que essa lista me fez corrigir, nunca ouvi george michael fora o hitzao careless whisper (que eu já achava excelente) e dei de cara com um álbum absurdamente bem produzido, praticamente a encorpação de um som que o revivalismo anos 80 presente na música atual tenta buscar sempre. the weeknd, tome notas.

I prefer Listen without Prejudice. Father Figure is a great song.

Yes

Wat een lekker album, ik zat er helemaal in.

I liked this a lot actually more than I thought I would

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

Very good

This is what pop music should sound like. It just does it all really well. This is a total 4/5.

Hadn't listened to George Michael before (aside from his huge hits), this albums helps explain some Arrested Development jokes. I feel like I got a good feel for the guy, seems like he likes sex. Next I need to listen to a Michael Bolton album to understand Office Space

Never heard the whole album before, which is the point of doing this! Singles were clearly the catchiest songs, some of the filler was fairly silly. He was a great singer, but I would have liked to hear him sing more rock than pop

80’s tastic. Done better by others

I don't -love- the production, but it's still a very charming album. The last track is pretty great, I even like it more than the title track!

Not for me. Has good song though.

Great album. "One More Try" is one of my favorites.

In terms of songs I'll go out of my way to listen to again, that's probably only the title track. But I found the American standard-style of Kissing a Fool intriguing- I'm not aware of too much of that from pop stars in the 80s.

i really don't know if i can sit through this lol it's perfectly fine pop music it's just corny for me! good production etc though and catchy

Jebeno. Jako je trendovski za to vrijeme i to se čuje, pri kraju se dosta pokvari, ali činjenica je da na njemu ima pjesama koje nikad neće ostariti. Da bar danas više takve trajnije pop glazbe.

Gotta have faith

He seems “horny on the main” and it’s not a good look. Absolutely horrific.

Not my cup of tea

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

Probably the best cringe album i’ve ever heard (so far..) In my view the arc of the story in this album begins with the church organ in the beginning. It seems to symbolize an almost cartoonish image of george michael immediately falling in love with a girl at first sight…. and desperately wanting to have sex with her lol. The title track seems to be him rehearsing what he wants to say, before he goes up to meet her. The following song is him actually talking to her but telling her what he thinks she wants to hear. George Michael’s adolescent horniness then gets the best of him and he confesses that he mainly just wants to have sex with her in a lyrically cringey, yet electric 2 part song as he faintly reassures her he also loves her. He realizes he messed up and before the conversation is over, he submits his final pleas for her on One More Try. GM fails and spirals down a dark path where he blames her for all of his short comings because she didn’t give him a chance (or bang him). Followed by views on society that seem to blame women not giving attention to those who need/demand it for their ill effects on society. Mainly Jimmy who goes on a shooting spree, and then a woman who lost her mother (and received no attention) and in turn became a prostitute. Monkey paints a picture of a man and woman in a relationship but the woman has an addiction. I interpret this as a metaphor for GM’s love interest being interested in a man who’s giving her the runaround, a mirror image of what GM believes is happening to him. He’s turned off by this and gives up. Kissing A Fool seems to have GM encounter this same woman, years later after the prine of her life. GM sees how she ended up as a waste, and reminds her that she shouldn’t have listened to the people in her circles that told her not not give him a chance. He attempts to reassure her that their lives would be much happier than they currently are if she just had a little faith. Though it seemed like GM had made peace with how everything turned out, the story takes a dark turn on the last track. He goes back to his horny ways, and wants another chance at having sex with her, despite all of the events that transpired. GM is sitting in a bar watching her, waiting for the gin to hit, and wants to make sure her car keys don’t end up in her hand. Sounds like it’s about making sure she’s safe at first, but then he says he’s a gentleman, but even gentlemen can only stand so much. Pretty fucking dark George Michael. This album is pretty dark and lyrically cringeworthy throughout the middle and latter portions despite the upbeat and happy intro/title track “Faith”. “One More Try” is also a beautiful cut. Lyrically I’d have to give this a 2, however the man can sing at a high level and the production is top-tier throughout. I gotta say the execution really brings it up a lot. 4/5, best cringe album i’ve ever heard

I guess I'm not the right audience? I don't know, I feel like the songs just blended together to form an amalgamation of the want/need of love described in a way I didn't like. Don't get me wrong, I love "Careless Whisper" (who doesn't?) but this just felt flat to me. I can get past lyrics, but the song structures felt similar and uninspiring. "Kissing a Fool" was my favorite, it felt the most refreshing and fun out of the bunch, but my favorite list stops there. Other than one specific setting that we all know this would work well for, I don't know why you would listen to this doing anything else but that. Not my thing, but don't let me dissuade you from returning to this to help stoke a fire burning between you and someone you love.

GOAT male vocalist. Crap, cheesy album.

It was alright, and I was surprised how many songs I knew from it. 5 recognized songs

I thought this album to be better than it was after listening. From my youth I remembered some of the hits, but not the weak tracks. "Faith" is a great song in every way. "I Want Your Sex" is also quite good. "Kissing a Fool" and "Father Figure" are ok. The other songs are forgettable.

Excellent funky pop, great singing. An 80s pop gem, catchy songs. Mostly upbeat.

If I wanna listen to Michael Jackson I just do that

Faith is a great song and Michael is underrated, in my opinion.

Really good album, not much more I can say.

6/10

I can see why this was a huge thing.

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.

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.

Decent pop record; the monogamy is sexy felt forced, like just be horny and chill!! There's nothing wrong with being a horn dog! Funky production, especially on I Want Your Sex pt. 1 & 2

Really enjoyed it. Good vocals, catchy lines.

A very strong pop album - ok it is a bit boring here and there and it is not in the same league as an 80s Madonna or Prince album but listened to it a lot at the time and can still appreciate it.

I knew many of the songs on this album, just from listening to the radio in the '80s. Not really my thing, but it is all very well done.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Faith, Father figure, Hand to mouth

2nd time around with this album. Still enjoyable Admittedly nothing on it comes close to the first three songs but the whole album is listenable ... just not my style otherwise would score higher 3 stars

Average

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.

This is a heck of an album. It’s front loaded with the hits…which we’re MONSTER hits when they were release and have stayed in regular radio rotation since. The rest of the record is so eclectic and interesting. George Michael’s vocals are heavily produced, but it work well with the context of the music. This deserves to be mentioned in the conversation of best albums of the 80s.

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

Never listened to any of this album that wasn’t on the radio. The songs seem pretty simple now but they are still good. Strong voice doesn’t need too much help.

Fun

Solid pop

Couldn't get a handle on it

Pretty generic.

First half fantastic

80s sound good album

Some beautiful songs on this album. I wasn't a huge fan of some of the more 80s style songs in the middle, but the others definitely make up for them.

Great album, but not his best. Faith (the song) is exceptional.

I guess it would be nice...

I’ve had this album in my car when I was 17 and bought it because I liked the hits, but listening to it in full again I’ve realized how much more there is to love. I really enjoyed A Last Request and Hand to Mouth with this listen. The only track I wasn’t crazy about was I Want Your Sex pt 1. But by far my favorite song from Georgie is Kissing a Fool.

6,5/10 Legal

Напомнило queen

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

YES

Not too badly aged; some of the tunes, especially the first tracks, are still very catchy. Still, George Michael (RIP way too early!) is better in a "best of" compilation than an individual album; it's not like there's a unifying thread across the tracks here.

Faith the song is exactly 3:16 long. My first thought on listening to this is that, goddam, Faith is a catchy motherfucker. Has anyone mashed this up with Prince's Kiss? Anyway, the other thing I think about is how GM had to hide who he was through all this. At least, when this album came out, he wasn't out. Which seems pretty ridiculous looking back on it. But that must've been fucking horrible. But as far as 80s pop albums go, there are some heavy hitters on here. There are also some very slight, forgettable tunes.

Our 5th grade teacher used to let us play cassettes in class every now and then, and you bet your sweet ass this was on repeat. The boys supplied Poison, Def Lepard, Motley Crue and probably Bon Jovi; the girls brought the Dirty Dancing soundtrack and George Michael. What a crazy time to be alive! Anywho, listening to this now it strikes me as a tale of two halves. Those first four songs are pretty tight (I genuinely like “One More Try”), but it’s a drop off after that. “Monkey” feels like a blatant rip off of “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and, as mentioned, it’s hard to imagine this album at all if Prince never existed. Still, it’s all really listenable and I get why the hits were big as shit. Sad that he left the earth when he did. There ain’t no joy for an uptown boy, after all.

Couple of dud tracks but an otherwise crucial album

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

George Michael is ok in small doses but this was way too much weird sexy 80s music.

Not even sure if Faith is a good song

Awesome

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.

Too much sex for me. But sure, this is a good record. The single is better in George's hands than it was in the hands of those shitheads in Limp Bizkit. Actually, it's a great song. I always laughed at it but its so catchy.

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.

sksak

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

George Michael had a great voice. These songs are the epitome of pop music. Just pure ear candy and accessible melody. It's an album that screams Prom (Aside for "I Want Your Sex," although in all honesty, that's fair game too).

Ahhh, George Michael.... I've heard that there's no such thing as bad publicity, however with songs titled 'Look at Your Hands', 'Hand to Mouth' and 'Hard Day', it's difficult to listen to this album without thinking about GM getting arrested for jerking off in that Beverly Hills park. Regardless, this is a great album and I think it's one of those that has only gotten better with time... and a little exposure. ;)

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.

George Michael, what is/was wrong with you, dude? There is so much to unpack in the transition from "Father Figure" to "I Want Your Sex." Come again, George? You talkin' to me? You can't have my sex. Especially with those awful lyrics. For 9 minutes and 17 seconds!? "I will be your father figure... I will be your preacher teacher," into "I'm not your father/ I'm not your brother." And who or what is "One More Try" about? Hoping the teacher referenced there is an older partner, and not an actual school teacher. Though considering the preceding songs, all bets are off. "Faith" stands the test of time, and holds up very well, but I feel bad for it. Even after you get through the weird stuff, there's a string of less offensive songs that really wear out their welcome with 4-5 minute lengths. "Faith" was completely forgotten about after what followed, unfortunately.

80s pop nostalgia - ain’t it grand?

Oof. I want your sex has not aged well.

Another rollercoaster album! Faith and Father Figure are really good. I thoroughly enjoyed One More Try as well. Most of the other songs not so much. This is a solid 80s album. Not my particular cup of tea, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I like about half the tracks.

Pretty much every song on this album is a classic.

You know you've got something special when you have an album that's outselling MJ and Prince at the time, nonetheless one of the best selling albums in the US. Faith is a mature journey of exploring sexuality and vulnerability as a male in a stark contrast from the approach that glam rock and pop at the time was taking, while also coated in the not-so-subtle internal struggle that GM was having with his own sexual identity. He pushes boundaries by making light around the taboos of sex and religion that conservatives were afraid the youth of the time were "falling into". The self-titled lead track itself is a timeless, fun piece that gets you energized, and remains one of his best to this day. The rest of the record definitely sounds dated, albeit fun and enjoyable, but doesn't hold up against the longevity against the MJ and Prince records that George wanted to rival. You're definitely getting one of the best pop records of the 80's, but it's cursed with staying a product of its time. Favorite Song: Faith Least Favorite: Hand to Mouth

I remember the excitement I felt waiting for this album to be released. All of us Wham fans were a little nervous in case he'd veered off somewhere we didn't like. I was not disappointed, quite the opposite in fact, I loved it immediately. I still love it. George's voice on One More Try still makes me crumble every time I hear it. It's extraordinary. This album is very much part of my youth.

Always has been one of my favorite albums of all time. I absconded with my sister’s copy when she got it for Christmas. It is his best albums and one of the best pop albums of the 80’s. I could listen to it on a loop.

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

Surprisingly good for what it is. I remember playing this a lot at the record store and enjoying it despite it's blatant commerciality.

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

Not as good as Older but OK

Liked it more than I thought I would Some good tracks hiding amongst the singles… Father Figure … one more try

Not for me. Enjoy Wham! Much better.

Normally I dislike late 80s synth sounds, but I feel like they fit weirdly well on this record. A lot, lot of bangers on this record. I just feel like two songs ("Monkey", "Look At Your Hands") pale a little bit when compared to the rest of the record, despite the fact that they've got pretty strong hooks. Favorite tracks: "Father Figure", "Faith", "Kissing a Fool", "One More Try"

Not really my thing, but I have to hand it to George Michael - looking at Prince and Michael Jackson in the late 80s and thinking to yourself "I can hit that level" and then _actually doing it_! Amazing! 😲 Fave track - "Hand to Mouth", I reckon...

Aggressively mediocre. Just dull pop

Not horrible, but glad it's over.

Huge fan…. Great 80’s songs back then….

This is a classic I remember listening to all the time with Dad. He had this CD going in the car and we would jam to Faith and Father Figure but there were a few others I remembered as well like One More Try. I think this may be the only George Michael content I've ever heard unless their is a song from another album but I really enjoyed listening to this one. Great album art as well.

Classics week continues! Going into this, I could only remember the title track, which is such a timeless jam. I never picked up on the Bo Diddley influence before today! Some other fantastic songs on here too. The fact that he produced this entirely on his own is CRAZY, and only one co-writer on one song, I love albums like that. Some of it is undeniably goofy though, especially that "I Want Your Sex" song.....that's a doozy. Great album though! Great job George Michael! Every time I hear your name I think of Michael Cera! Favorite tracks: Faith, One More Try, Father Figure, Kissing a Fool. Album art: Very strong. He's tormented as hell, you can tell by how dramatically he's attempting to bury his well-groomed face in his leather jacket. Jokes aside, I do like this one. 4/5

I'm not a huge fan of the 80's genre George is in but there's a few classics on here I still appreciate

Niet mijn ding.

Ok, easy listening... I give it a 3

Super goede stem maar te erge 80s boomer vibe

meh.

A solid 3. The title song is a solid classic but I'm not a massive 90s/2000s smooth croonin' pop fan

Certainly not my usual style of music. And I thought I would only recognize the title track. But I did recognize a couple other tracks in it. Overall I'm not sure I have much to say about this album. It's very 80s, and George Michael is a great singer, but it's really not my style and doesn't hit as hard as say Michael Jackson. But it's a great album for what it is. It's interesting that the Spotify version makes it look as though 'A Last Request' is the last song on the original version, rather than 'Kissing a Fool.' Listening to Kissing a Fool, it's pretty clear in my mind that it's meant to be a closing track. It one of my favorites on the album because of the big Elvis-esque impact it has, reminding me of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love With You". A Last Request doesn't work nearly as well as a finale, and I'd consider it one of the weakest songs on the album as a whole if you include it.

Some bangers, mostly not

Faith the song is a banger \"That's all I wanted But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime That's all I wanted Just to see my baby's blue eyes shine\" lost on people at the time but nice subtle lyric there I love how he does his own backing vocals throughout I want your sex was described by himself as bad prince but a good song, would not think this came out in the 80s as a pop song, great long song or 2 part song " That the gods believe in nothing So with empty hands I pray" Huge departure from the subject matter of a wham album

I was expecting more bangers in this so slighty disappointing in that regard. Still a great album with solid 80’s vibes.

Enjoying the album. Admittedly nothing on it comes close to the first three songs but the whole album is quite listenable 3 stars

Can't go hating on George Michael

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

Not completely awful but wasn’t really my style

Gay

This album was hard to get to the end of, I can’t find a single redeeming quality here.

Kinda got worse as it went. Only getting a 3 Because of "Faith - Remastered"

Solid 80’s sex rock kinda vibe. Fun listen

I really like the musical direction that George Michael decided to take with this album and it suits his terrific voice - one of the great rock pop vocalists. The opening tracks (Faith, Father Figure) are classics. However, the album starts to lose its way for me and the ballads are pretty dreary.

2.5

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.

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

Has some really good hits and it is a good album.

Really enjoyed this album, first time listening to it.

Ehhhhh

Not my jam.

Good upbeat album, especially enjoyed the hits that I recognized. How can you not bop along to them! I Want Your Sex absolutely slaps! Other songs were enjoyable as well, up to the last two which seemed to change tone and I didn't like as much. Probably 3.8/5.0

Father Figure

Sympa mais ltrapeze est totalement à la traîne.

Very cool album!

Thirsty af

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!

Allegations not withstanding this was good music, perhaps made ominous by the later accusations.

I could be misunderstanding but i do believe this gentleman wants to have sex with me
