5 stars The boys of Wham! will help you reach that goal!
Stuck in traffic? Got in a fight with a loved one? Somebody spilled beer on your favorite hotpink t-shirt?

This album will take all of that pain away and more.

Such issues as unemployment and teen pregnancy were never fun to dance to...until now! Say what you will about George Michael, but in my opinion, he is one talented man. Buy this.

3 stars Campy funk, lots of fun, but strangely hollow
The pessimistic ballad "Nothing Looks The Same In the Light" touches upon George Michael's pervailing sense of cynicsm in romance, and his streetwise act looks rather campy all these years later. But hey, the music is still quite sleek, stylish and lots of fun. If it leaves one feeling a little empty by the CD's end, take comfort in the knowledge that all this was just Act I in Michael's career and that his level of music substance would strengthen with age(sorta).
