Description

5.0 out of 5 stars overlooked gem, one of their best CDs
Simply Red just simply soars on this album. There’s not a weak moment in this collection; all are very good. I really like all the songs but I must said that the song “Suffer” is an instant classic, great song. Then the rest is as good as Suffer, specially the reggae anthem “Love Fire” just awesome. Go and get this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, Its That Good,
Fans of Sly Stone, Average White Band, Sade, and Swing Out Sister, to name a few, will all find something appealing about Simply Reds sophomore release, “Men And Women”, originally released in 1987. After enjoying a worldwide smash and instant standard in the single “Holding Back The Years”, the temptation to produce a clone had to be on the bands mind. That clone is “Maybe Someday…”, but lets put that aside a moment.

Delightfully, the rest of the album finds the band confident, exploratory, and exuberant. Lyrically, Mick Hucknall has love on the mind. Specifically, the lustful kind. The working class Brit viewpoint, especially on matters of the heart, is still intact and at its zenith here. The band sounds incredible too. From horns, piano, synth, and hearty background vocal, these are just the right bandmates to match Hucknalls take-no-prisoners mood.

The songs : “The Right Thing”, a fine eighties pop tune. “Infidelity”, an ode to that cheating mood. “Let Me Have It All”, hands-down funk exercise a la AWB and Sly. “Love Fire”, touches elements of reggae and ska. “Move On Out” and “Shine”, smooth soul with slinky minor chords.
