Faith

It starts pretty strong but kinda fades out.

ok

Really enjoyed it. Will listen again soon

I LIKE HIM :)

Nope sorry. Zero vibes. Some nice hooks though I'll give it that

Pleasantly surprised.

Not for me

Anyone gives this less than three stars clearly has no Faith.

Eines der besten Pop-Alben ever

En ce mois de pride, notre generateur se met a la page en nous proposant ce bel album du très efféminé George Michael

Wenn man es als Album hört, rafägt es über gelegentlich nerviges SWR 3 Hit Niveau deutlich hinaus

George Michael tiene una forma muy particular de ponerme de buenas. Me parece un disco bien producido, con canciones pegajosas y que yo describiría como sensualonas.

Loving the second track father figure! Such a jam.

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

Good voice good lasting pop songs

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.

I listened without prejudice and am surprised to say this is a 4 star.

Listened to this with Genius trivia on, it really added a lot of context around some of the tracks that made this more enjoyable for me given George Michael's history since the album was released.

Would listen again.

Perfectly fine.

Title track is a banger, the rest is just meh

Bonkers

Muy buen disco

A strong 3. Don't know if I'd listen again but was fun, similar to Wham. Not sure how I feel about some of the lyrics, but they gave me a laugh

Inoffensive background music

Beter dan verwacht

Zit nogal weinig in.

Een all time favorite van de mama. Funky popalbum. Ik kan begrijpen waarom dit indertijd erg populair was. Ik ben er net iets minder fan van

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

3 and half, really.

Empieza muy bien y medio se va desinflando conforme avanza. Hay unas buenas rolas eso sí, y gran producción. Me recordó al último disco de OPN.

George really found his voice in this one, in more ways than one. What a set of pipes he has on him here. Doesn't now though, sadly....he's dead.

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.

Homophobic not to like this.

Brilliant ! ****

Lang geleden, leuk plaatje zeg!

This is a great popalbum by the greatest popsinger in history in my opinion. Catchy songs, controversial topics. Great respect!

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

Jeugdsentiment, maar ook echt een fantastische plaat!

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

About as cheesy as one can expect, but full of classic songs

No, just no

Zoe doesn't understand why this would necessarily have to be something people must listen to before they die. I was only her age when it came out, and many of these tracks transport me right back to middle school. I actually relistened to this album recently and still enjoy it, though it is not really my jam. And I am curious about the historical relevance and influence of this album.

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

Better than I expected tbf.

some obvious bangers and a few goodies i've not heard before. Some shite too mind. Solid 3.

Insoportable, no lo di escuchado entero.

It was pretty good -- the music was very catchy and he has a great voice, but there was just something really weird about the lyrics to me.

First half of this album is gold. Second half is meh.

Didn't need christian bad boy george michael in my life, still don't. Musically it works, and at some points ya it's groovin and fun, but these lyrics are nonsense and trying so hard to be a "good" bad boy. Listening to this reminds me of the book about christian sex

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

A few good songs but a lot more 80s cheese

Christian-inspired music goes sexual. Pues muy característico sonido de finales de los ochenta, letras de canciones supercagadas, pop, r&b, gospelish a ratos. Suave al oído, me imagino que re mainstream en la época. Estoy seguro de que ha de haber un buen de vaporwave con samples de este disco XD. Canciones favs: Faith, monkey y Hard day. Mood: Góspel pop horny

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.

Unforgettable pop album. The one in which GM combines the commercial touch of Wham! with his artistic aspirations, which will be further developed in his later works. The mixture in here originates the almost perfect pop meets r&b album

Great opener

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.

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.

This is not George Michael Bluth

Nope

Faith is the most popular song on this album by far in terms of plays but Father Figure is very good and probably the best song on this album. 8/10.

pretty fun listen

George Michael con su primer trabajo en solitario. Después de dejar Wham la expectación era máxima. Y finalmente, Faith fue un gran éxito. Referente de la música pop de los años 80 George Michael construyó un disco muy explosivo al principio pero que pierde gas al final. Memorable Faith con esos órganos que de repente dan paso a una serie de Guitarras... ouuu yeah! ¡Estás escuchando Faith jejeje Baaabyyyy!. Father Figure es un trabajo pop impecable con unos coros muy bien conjuntados. Y después de estas dos canciones llegamos al "I want your Sex", algo más de 9 minutos de canción que dieron para hablar, bailar, ligar en una discoteca a finales de los 80. Para finalizar este gran comienzo de disco hay que nombrar "One More Try", una balada lacrimógena al más estilo Prince. A partir de aquí el trabajo es correcto pero nada destaca tanto como para ser reseñado. Quizá Kissing a Fool, otra de esas baladas pero esta vez al piano con un ritmo Jazz pausado y relajado. Si fuera por las 4 primeras canciones estaría cerca del 5 (4,5 quizá) pero el final no tiene ni mucho menos el nivel de las primeras canciones.

El tipo de algún que me gusta todito. Obviamente todo el sonido ochentero y pues a riesgo de decir una babosada: michaeljacksonesco. Hace mucho no escuchaba el hitazo "Faith". Hasta las baladas me gustaron, la voz de GM es virtuosa pa'l pop. Mis canciones fav fueron ambas partes de "I Want Your Sex" y "Monkey", grandes beats. En fin, fan. 10/10.

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.

What if Michael Jackson was a white guy from north London? Well, he'd probably sound very similar, and he'd probably be very popular with white British people. I liked this a lot! Sexy, poppy, fun. Still, feels very derivative and I can't shake that.

Nice and up beat

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
