3.0 out of 5 stars Not without a couple good ones, but mostly a cash-in on "Word Up", April 12, 2008

This review is from: Machismo (Audio CD)

A towering presence in the world of funk, this long-lasting group has had many memorable hits. Their last album before this, 1986's "Word Up" was one of their best efforts, spawning smash hits with the title track and "Candy." The problem with this album isn't so much that it's all that bad, because it really isn't, but more the fact that it seems to be a deliberate carbon copy of its predecessor in some ways. The track "Pretty Girls" sounds almost exactly like the title track from "Word Up," and "Honey" is practically nothing more than "Candy" with the word "honey" in place of the word "candy." The slow groove "In The Night," featuring the legendary Miles Davis playing trumpet, is very good. However, if you want to experience Cameo's later works, go for their 1990 album "Real Men Wear Black" instead. It has more originality and generally makes better use of the new-jack swing formula than this.
