Overall this CD is pretty pathetic.

Review Score:

(4/10)
I remember hearing the song "Don't You Want Me" on the radio many times in 1982. It was one of my favorite pop hits of the year. It's catchy and exciting and just a great song in general. I bought this CD a few years later, and I was disapponnted to find out that the rest of the album is pretty much filler. Simply put, I don't find any of the other songs to be appealing in any way at all. In fact, not only do I not find them appealing, but I actually find them to be mind numbing. The CD sounds like the kind of thing that somebody would force you to listen to if they were trying to brainwash you. I mean, geez! Listen to the sound sample of the first song if you want to see what I mean. The guy's voice sounds so mechanichal, almost as if it was computer generated. It's as if they are trying to erase the contents of your brain so they can later take control of your mind. But I still love the song "Don't You Want Me," so I'm giving this CD two stars instead of one. And by the way, if anybody here wants to hear a real genuinely true new wave/pop album where every song is outstanding and a sheer joy to listen to, then I strongly recommend that you get PARALLEL LINES by Blondie. It's intelligent, fun, upbeat, humorous, and overall an excellent CD. And PARALLEL LINES sounds like it was made by real human beings who have genuine thoughts, feelings, and emotions, which is something that the DARE CD pretty much lacks.
