<p>The funny thing is that the day before this article went live, the radio station we listen to at my job played the song and I just smirked and thought, "Hey, I just wrote about that song!"</p>

<p>I think this album and how I judge it is part of the reason why I don't write about all that many pop albums. They throw off a lot of my standard guidelines for what I do and don't like.</p>

<p>All Night Long is one of those songs that I would be cool with never hearing again. The other hits are terrific, especially Hello.</p>

<p>Different standards for different musical styles. I don't expect full bands playing in most pop music but I do when it comes to rock bands. I make allowances for pop music albums to have far more in the way of studio magic.</p>
<p>And the comments about the rock albums that do it are generally due to the fact that I didn't consider it in good taste or possibly all that sporadically.</p>
<p>I said it is HIS masterwork. It's the best solo album he's ever done in my opinion.</p>

<p>Is that Nicole Richie's dad?<br></br><br></br>OK-OK, I know who he is. <br></br>And yes, I suppose we, children of the 80s, all have few Popstars in our closets. However, Lionel Richie is not in mine. Although I really love "Hello", reading the track titles it is the only song I know from this release. Looked up the full album on Youtube and one thing struck me. You ALWAYS have a remark whenever a Melodic Metal band from that era makes use of studio trickeries associated with the time, in not so…</p>

You ALWAYS have a remark whenever a Melodic Metal band from that era makes use of studio trickeries associated with the time, in not so favorable light I might add, (even if they do it with good taste and sporadically), but this album, for employing every imaginable gimmick in the book is: "<span>masterwork" and "greatness always shines through".<br/><br/>What gives?</span></p>
