Album Review

Pure Pop, No More, No Less

"She Wants To Dance With Me" was my favorite song when I was 12. I remember watching the video and thinking what a cute kid Rick was. It is not great art but it is pure pop--songs that stick in your head as you think "who the heck sang that song again?"

The rest is of the albums' tracks are mediocre or worse.

Rick Astley is rad!

"Hold Me In Your Arms" is an amazing song.
