If you truely love music, forget that this is GARTH!

Review Score: (10/10)
When I read that Capitol records wasn't going to let Garth go any farther with this one, I was horrified. Don't be fooled, this is a fine piece of work indeed - produced by Don Was to top it all off! If the true music lover can hold themselves together and throw out their "goat-roping" boots, then they all WILL find out what brilliant writing is all about. Forget that it is Garth and hear between the lines, you will not be disapointed!
