Reviews:
A truly original artist.
I can't even describe how I feel about this album. Michael Bolton is the best rocker of all time. I wish I was half the man he was. I do wish he would have revived some more Foreigner songs on this album though. Only Michael Bolton can take a classic pop song and craft it into a masterpiece for a new generation. Bolton should just grab a copy of Foreigner's "4" album, hit play, and just sing his heart out. He would make that travesty of an album a complete masterpiece. I own his entire collection. I can't wait until he comes out with a new album!
Bolton's Final decent album!This was the point of no return!
To start off I only paid 35 cents for this! What we have here is when Bolton became Michael Bolton.Before this all of his albums were straight ahead melodic rock/metal.This is when he started that adult comtemporary crapola! There are however a few decent rockers on here. Here's the breakdown!
1.Hot Love(7/10)Not bad.A decent rocker with guitarwork by Bruce Kulick(of Kiss)and back up vocals by Joe Lynn Turner(of Rainbow).
2.Wait on Love(5/10)This one is not so good!But it does have Neal Schon(of Journey)on guitar.
3.Sittin on the Dock of the bay(0/10)Horrible.Somebody shoot me please!This song is more like A Muggin on the Dock of the bay,and boy did I get mugged by this one!
4.Gina(9/10)Now this one I really like.It's a good rocker!.I hate to admit it, but it's a catchy song.The guitarwork and vocals sound great,even the keyboards are first rate!
5.That's What Love is All About(1/10)A bad song.A sappy love ballad that takes it to a whole new low!Oh my god, what a bad song!
6.The Hunger(3/10)Not great,but better than today's music still!
7.You're All That I Need(9/10)This one I like!Once the guitars kick in,this is a pretty good song.Neal Schon is on guitar.This is a catchy song.I can't believe I'm saying this,but it's true!I love the 80's!
8.Take a Look at my Face(6/10)Not bad,once the guitar gets into it,it sounds decent.Worth a listen!The sax is a bit much though.
9.Walk Away(2/10)Not good.A slow ballad song.Don't like it!
Overall I say if you want to hear the real Bolton,buy his first 4 albums.Blackjack,Worlds Apart,Michael Bolton and Everybody's Crazy.Those albums showcase his melodic metal/rock talent!If you like those,then buy this just to get his last 2 rockin songs that he ever did,which are Gina and You're All That I Need.Have sense and don't buy any Bolton albums after this one.If you like the 80's you'll like his ealy works and even this one.Well at least some of this one!
Michael Bolton is A No Talent Ass Clown
I apologize to all Bolton fans out there for my earlier comments. I just don't like Michael Bolton and probably never will. I just don't find his music entertaining at all. This album is just a collection of all the things i trully hate about the man. Maybe I'm beng unjust to Mr. Bolton, but still, its my opinion and I'll understand if fans want to lash out at me for my comments. But I'd also like to say hello to my new friend 85 Delorian. How can you give one star to the Bible, but five to Michael Bolton???? Are you just stupid or a jerk? I don't know. So again apologies to Amazon and the good fans of Michael Bolton, but to 85 Delorian I say this: THPPPPPPT!!!!
