Difficult one to rate for me. It's smooth despisable and awfully cheesy 80's adult contemporary music, but its executed so incredibly well. The recording is crisp and every note and beat is well thought out. It's more 80's Steely Dan than Michael Bolton or Richard Marx. Very commendable to make the dreariest and most cliche music genre sound good. Smooth Operator is a certified classic and I really liked Frankie's First Affair as well.
