George Michael- Mothers Pride Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

I've always said that LWP was more superior to Faith | |

Beautiful song from a fantastic album. His best album. His voice could really shine on Listen Withoput, strong lyrics, strong melodies. | |

Btw, what is deal with all the mixed reaction LWP got on first release? like check out this review from Robert Christgau
''Who has this boy been listening to? Morrissey? Anita Baker? June Christie? Harry Connick Jr.? Whatever the sleazy details, his announced decision to hold off on the dance music till next time half-proves he doesn't know as much about stardom as he thinks, and the ruminations with which he proclaims his seriousness finish the job. As a public figure he's no Bono or Boy George--he's a good-looking, replaceable teenybop idol. So only teenyboppers, and not too damn many of those, are likely to care that he feels demeaned by false fame. It's as a musician that he's won respect, and not even a pop musician--a dance musician. Ironic, isn't it, that the danciest thing here is yoked to (and undercut by) his highly unoriginal thoughts on this matter? And though the McCartneyesque "Heal the Pain" sounds like a hit ballad, most of this cocktail music is no more interesting than the cipher who sings it so "well." I'm betting it doesn't move a quarter of Faith's units, which ought to enhance his appreciation of dance music pronto'' C-
Hmmm i guess i don't quite understand why so many people had this type of reaction, they say Faith was a ''dancy'' album. Ok fair enough... but One More Try was a number 1 hit & it is a very slow ballad.... i mean i doubt it was every played in a club Kissing A Fool is a basic blues & jazz little ditty.... idk not exactly dance either.. and also Hand To Mouth[my facorite on the album] Was a very political/social song.
It just seems silly that some people acted like Faith was nothing but poppy dance hits

It's alright. Sounds like an Elton John song to me. I've never been a big fan of LWP I much perfer Faith and Older. [Edited 4/28/12 9:01am] | |
