Two kinds

Review Score: (2/10)
Wherever I go I run into two kinds of people. Those who know very little about music who love this album, and those who know quite a bit and despise this album with every fiber of their being.

There's a reason for this. This album is junk. Tedious beyond belief, and capable of inducing a monumental amount of eye rolling. Sure it was a huge seller 20 years ago, but so was "Grease," "Saturday Night Fever" and a host of other bad albums. Then again, no one has ever gone broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
