5.0 out of 5 stars Matthew Wilder the Genius, July 15, 2000

When I first bought "I Dont Speak the Language" in the eighties I was utterly flabbergasted! I thought this was one of the best albums Ive ever bought and I still do. Disney was smart enough to find this underrated genius and No Doubt for that matter one of the best groups to come out of the nineties. I promise you when you listen to this CD you will not be dissapointed. Matthew Wilder is one of the best songwriters and singers to come out of the eighties all of his songs have catchy hooks and he never dissapoints. Take a listen and when you hear "I Dont Speak the Language" you will think you are on vacation. The top ten hit and masterpiece "Break My Stride" that infested our radios in the eighties and gave us confidence we were looking for. I Was There makes me wish I had been in the studio when Matthew did this album! Ladder of Lovers is the most romantic song I have ever heard and The Kids American is so rockin! Love Above the Ground Floor and Ricky holding on to her lover is absolutely kicking. If there is a Matthew Wilder fan club I want to join if there isn't Ill be the president. This man should be writing and producing for Diana Ross and Whitney Houston and other folks he is sooo talented...after hearing this CD you will wish you could write music like this. Not only can you hear it you can picture it. Go Matthew!

4.0 out of 5 stars Break My Stride What Else Do I Have To Say, February 4, 1999

Matthew Wilder where have I heard that name, well maybe a couple of places. First he is the producer of No Doubt, and he composed the music for the Mulan soundtrack. But did you know that in the 80's chances are you were listening to Matthew and didn't even know. Back in 1984 Matthew had a hit single called "Break My Stride" off his debut album "I Don't Speak The Lanuage" I had this album back in the 80's and loved every song. I was so impressed, with the album I listened to it everyday. Of course down the road I lost my copy of the album, and thought well I will just go buy another copy. Wrong it was now out of print, something that 80's music lovers know all to well. Seems that nothing from the 80's is in print anymore. But now we are so lucky. Someone has realized that this man is a genius, and the album that I can't say enough about is now being released on Cd. So take my advice and buy this Cd, sit back and take a trip back in the 80's. You will hear what I heard back in 1984 this is just one great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! I Can't Believe I Found this CD!, October 18, 1999

This review is from: I Don't Speak The Language/Bouncin' Off The Walls (Audio CD)

As a college student in the early to mid 1980's, the song "Break My Stride" was a staple. I always did love this song, and have longed for a copy of it many times over the years. I had a cassette tape with the song on it at the time; however, the tape has been long lost. Periodically over the years I have checked in music stores and have never found it. Since finding Amazon.com last year, I checked the music section every few months or so searching for this song or for Matthew Wilder. I was speechless when this new CD showed up on the screen, and quite happy when I could actually listen to part of the song over the computer!! Needless to say, I had to have it and have listened to it every day in my car since. My two children have also become very fond of it! Thank you, thank you Matthew Wilder, for making fond college memories return for this fan!!! How lucky I am!
