4.0 out of 5 stars A Diamond In The Ruff!, November 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Think With Your Heart (Audio CD)

Out of all of Debbie's albums,this one has got to be my favorite. It's true what the other reviewers have written - it's an album consisting almost entirely of sappy, cliche romance-ballads, but whether you love or hate that sort of a thing you cannot argue that this album is one of the finest collections of such a genre.

I remember being pleasantly surprised to find that Debbie even had a new album out when I first found this CD back in June of 1995, for I had not seen nor heard any marketing or promotion for it which lead me to expect it to be a real disappointment in the material but once I heard it, I was so grateful to have discovered it. This album is truly memorable for me, as I was just going through my first broken heart when it came out.

"Didn't Have the Heart" froze me in my tracks the first time I heard it and despite what most other reviewers here have said, "Dontcha Want Me Now" is in my opinion one of the best songs on the whole album. The fact that it's an upbeat song refreshingly using real, live instruments as opposed to her traditional synthesized numbers is just why it's such a great track!

Compared to Debbie's other collections as well as most other artist's albums, this album is just "simple" which is why it is such a treat. Honest and straight-forward, it's just Debbie singing mostly happy views on love without any hyped-up, synthetic or overproduced effort.

This album is a great reminder that it's okay to enjoy a "pretty song" every once in awhile instead of the agressive, angst-ridden rock tunes with such bizarre, out-there lyrics that have now become the mainstream in being recognized as what is considered the "good music" of today.

Just a great, simple collection of love songs - nothing less, nothing more but a true gem nonetheless!

This is definately one of Debbie/Deborah's best albums. I dug it out again recently and fell in love with it all over again. It's full of great ballads and a few fast tracks and the music is great. Her voice really shines through here and to me, that's part of why this is one of her best cds.
My favourite songs are Dancin' In My Mind, For Better Or Worse and the dancy Dontcha Want Me Now. She even does a terrific remake of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (the only song she didn't write for this). She's so talented and this songwriting from her is on point and the part in her career where she really goes from complete pop to more adult contemporary.
If you like adult contemporary music and nice ballads, this is a good cd to get. I can't believe it's been over 10 years since this has been released and yet I still love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why this album bombed is a mystery to me., August 3, 2004

Come on people! If you are still pigeon-holing Gibson into the "teen-bop" (I HATE THAT TERM!), adolescent singer, you need to do as Debbie did: GROW UP. You need to listen to this with an open mind and not be so ready to just say it's just bubble-gum. Justin Timberlake got rave reviews as a solo nevermind his "Boyband" (I HATE THAT TERM TOO!!), young artist pop band roots in the mega successful Nsync. I don't see people blowing him off like they do with Debbie and she can whip the tar out of Justin.
Songs like the title track and Lets Run Away show us that yes even Debbie Gibson (now Deborah) has grown up and should be taken more seriously and that her music deserves a better chance. Debbie has always been known to write her own material, the hallmark of an artist over just a performer. The throw back to her earlier days; Don't You Want Me Now still has a more mature feel, even going into some risque and controversial area with the lyric "but I'm loving her just the same", spicing things up a bit, like Janet Jackson did by singing the Rod Stewart song Tonights The Night to another woman.
No, this is not adolescent pop - which by the way we ate up like chocolate - so let's not penalize her without charging us as guilty for liking it. Just as our musical taste matured, so has hers.
