' "Take Me Back", "Emotions" and "Love Incorporated" are the sort of ballads that are typical of late Roger, sugary, string-synth laden, and hollow. "Get Up" is a mindless but OK dance jam featuring guitar lines not unlike "More Bounce". "Curiousity" is probably the album's best track, featuring good singing. "You Should Be Mine" is an mid-tempo song featuring that ringing guitar sound. "Breakthrough" is a bland dance song. "Victim Of Love" is similar, but has more bite to it, with a stinging guitar solo. "Who-La-Boola" is the obligatory jazz track, with some nice sax playing. "Hurry Up" is a good bluesy track with a heavy harmonica presence.' Rob.Clough@duke.eduTrack Listing:
