Welcome To The Pleasuredome
Frankie Goes To Hollywood

So I knew the hit Frankie songs, but never listened to the entire album before, and I will say that it’s actually pretty interesting… Not sure what “The World Is My Oyster” song was that opened the album, but “Pleasuredome” was pretty well done – perhaps a bit bloated, but intriguing… Obviously “Relax” & “Two Tribes” are the best songs on the album, and the covers in the middle of the album were unexpected, but again – very interesting… Hadn’t heard “Ferry” in over 40 years, so that was pretty cool, and the version of “Born To Run” – while not top -shelf, was still ambitious for sure… Also enjoyed the “San Jose” cover – but really, all 3 of those tracks – along with “War” – just really seemed out of place compared to the rest of the album – but they were definitely fun… Not sure it needed to be a double album – but hey, I thought it was pretty well done all-the-way around… Would probably give this a 2.50 if I could, but I’ll bump it up to a 3, as I enjoyed it more than I thought I would…
