Faith

Never listened to it before. Absolutely cracking 3 song start! V good

Not good

it was ok liked the production design

A great pop album with well-written tunes; every song is bop-worthy with a lot of variety. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. STANDOUTS: -Faith -I Want Your Sex -One More Try -Hard Day -Hand Over Mouth -Monkey -Kissing a Fool

Nice

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

pffft

Kissing a fool is great.

Como decía al hablar de Duran Duran, sí había buen pop en los 80s y esta es una buena muestra de eso. Un disco que se siente... elegante, pero no sobrio, la palabra correcta quizá no se puede traducir y tendría que ser "slick." No hay mucho que decir excepto que destila esa esencia de synthpop de los 80s muy bien hecho; sus sencillos se volvieron en clásicos indelebles y con un solo disco creció exponencialmente a cualquier cosa que hubiera logrado hacer previamente con Wham, se volvió una verdadera superestrella de inmediato. A mi gusto personal no, nunca va a ser mi género, ni es el tipo de pop que me llama y es un sonido que incluso tomando la nostalgia se oye ya, quizá justo por ser tan emblemático de toda la música de masas de la época, un poco anticuado, no es algo que vaya a volver a escuchar constantemente, pero me alegra haberlo hecho al menos esta vez. No fue difícil de escuchar y es apreciable, hasta para quienes no tenemos gusto por el género, la calidad que tiene; impresionante que no solo haya escrito todo sino que también haya sido el productor de todo el disco. No mucho más que decir un disco excelente para lo que es, aunque yo no sea su público objetivo.

Singles are great, rest of the album is fine. 5-6/10

I did not expect to enjoy George Michael as much as I did.

Faith es buena y quizá las letras está bien pero todo un disco así de ochentero me es difícil de aguantar.

Damn. I forgot how great this album is. The first album I ever purchased, as well.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with this album. It's been a running joke for years in my family. All joking aside after listening to this from top to bottom (LOL) for the first time since I was probably 5 I can safely say it's a classic. Almost every damn song is good. Younger me had great taste!

Smooth, sexy.

It was all right, not my main cup of tea, but many familiar songs

Better than expected. Second half was decent

Couldn't finish it. I tried

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.

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.

Incredible.

What a single

Very basic pop for first half. Probably dope in it's time but not my thing. Second half was great with more jazz and jazzy balads

such a great album, especially for coming out

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

Well HAWT DAMN! Pretty fun album eh. Phenomenal.

Quality album, just not a fan of his style per say.

Next please

Faith and One More Try were really good, but the rest of the songs kind of melded together. I couldn't listen to 10 minutes of "I Want Your Sex"

Ikoniskt 80-tal. En del bra låtar, det mesta inte mer än OK. Lyssnade ändå gärna klart på hela albumet, så når precis upp till en trea.

Actually very good album which has plenty of great songs. At first glance I knew that Faith was good and expected other songs to be OK at best. But it was actually very good.

You gotta have faith!

3.5| Con esa calidad por lo menos debería escucharse todo el pop y todos los poperos deberían tener al menos esa calidad y compromiso que tuvo. Un disco que no te deja mal sabor. Kissing a Fool es mi favorita de George

Me parece que es un excelente álbum pop, especialmente para la época, en la que George Michael estaba en la cima de su popularidad y podía vender, sin un gramo de pena, las jaladas hipócritas de "I Want Your Sex" (¿partes 1 y 2? chale) y "Father Figure" o el dance de "Monkey" y de todos modos serían hits. Muy rescatables por otro lado "Faith" y "Kissing a Fool". Creo que es la epítome de pop ochentero en muchos sentidos: Un sex symbol que resulta ser gay, cantando acerca de ser figura paterna y de que el sexo es mejor cuando es uno a uno; además es griego pero ni quien lo note porque se comporta como británico y lo aman en USA.

80's

this album is not good. well, it's well produced, but the songs just suck. they're all products of their time, with little to no heart. so many songs are just "please have sex with me i want sex so bad please it's good please i'm a gentleman but i want sex" stupid dumb idiot album

Very '80s, very culturally important, but again not for me.

Boring

smooth, chill, rather direct on topics but overall well done

Faith & One More Try were good

Such an incredible album-- yeah it has the hits, but this album showcases George Michael's ability to take sound and make it unique.

I hadn't really listened to much George Michael music before this album. I like it. Upbeat, Smooth voice and suggestive lyrics are a winning combination.

Good Record! timeless

A classic I grew up with. Always fun to listen to

Really groovy, a party album for sure

I feel like I'm listening to a 90's boy band. Respect where respect is due, clearly George Michael's music influenced those acts, and I can objectively recognize this is good pop music, but I am in no way feeling this. It's not my music.

While the title track is undeniably dope, nothing else on here really held my attention. Sleazy style over content.

Not a bad pop album but absolutely nothing special. First two songs are good, after that the album becomes to monotonous to impress

Fedt album og lækker 80er lyd. Mange numre holder stadigvæk

Great songs, great vocals

Not nice

Not bad for a start. Interesting. 4

6,5

eeh

5 stars for faith and father figure. the rest is blah 3.5

Opløftende upbeat, britisk pop, catchy, kærlighed

Being sex positive? Cool. Doing it like an after school PSA? Not so much

loved “KISSING A FOOL”!!

George has got a nice voice, and there are some good arrangements here, especially in the back half. Overall, though, it's an unengaging experience. Thankfully, not in a boring way: Even after almost an hour I wasn't checking to see how much was left. But after the opening tracks, which come across as nothing more than a very lame attempt to shock the audience, I couldn't stop noticing the unimpressive writing. I don't think there's a case for this being offensively bad pop music, but it loses me on every other level.

4/22 This man can sing his heart out. Standout Tracks: One More Try, Hard Day, Hand to Mouth, Kissing a Fool

Ok
