4.0 out of 5 stars For the record..., June 11, 2006
For the record, Brent Spiner was a Broadway star long before he joined the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He had a featured role in Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George in 1984, and replaced Rene Auberjonois (another Trek alum who can sing) in Big River in 1985.

I agree that this is a mediocre album - the very title tells you that it's a gimmick. The arrangements are lackluster, and I've heard Brent sound much better (on the cast albums of the aforementioned Sunday and his starring role as John Adams in the 1997 revival of 1776). He was clearly leaning on his Star Trek connections to sell the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album by a Star Trek alum... period., September 18, 2003
By Melissa Hunnefield (Lititz, PA USA) - See all my reviews
A beautiful collection of oldies preformed by Brent Spiner. His singing on the show is nothing compared to the mellow tones put forth on this album. I've included a track listing for those who haven't heard any more about it... in order:

Time After Time
The Very Thought Of You
More Than You Know
Toot Toot Tootsie
Embraceable You
It's A Sin (To Tell A Lie)
Long, Long Time
Carolina In The Morning
Marie
Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart
When I Fall In Love
Goodnight, Sweetheart

Only one song is even slightly annoying, and it's not due to Spiner. "It's A Sin (To Tell a Lie)" features a monologue by Captain Jean-Luc Picard actor Patrick Stewart. It's total cheese, but the song is lovely.

Great music for a romantic evening by the fire, playing around on the computer, or driving on a rainy night. Not the terribly trashy stuff of former Star Trek albums, but a very nice collection of remade oldies. I'd like to hear more from Brent.

3.0 out of 5 stars How sad it makes me, July 13, 2004
Yes, this album is by "Data" of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Brent sings mostly standards here, with the exception of one recent song by Randy Newman. Brent has a decent tenor voice, but he can't really sustain a note. Any time he tries to hold a note, there is quite a bit of vibrato. Not Tiny Tim level, to be sure, but still a bit distracting. The main fault with the album is that arrangements by Dennis McCarthy are rather dull and unimaginative. The two songs here that were arranged by John McKinney, on the other hand, are lively and fun. Too bad he didn't arrange the whole album. This album will appeal to Star Trek fans only. Trekkies will be especially interested in "It's a Sin (To Tell a Lie)", which features back-up vocals by LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes and Patrick Stewart, plus a recitation by Stewart. The songs are:

1. Time After Time
2. The Very Thought of You
3. More Than You Know
4. Toot Toot Tootsie
5. Embraceable You
6. It's a Sin (To Tell a Lie)
7. Long, Long Time
8. Carolina in the Morning
9. Marie
10. Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart
11. When I Fall in Love
12. Goodnight, Sweetheart

4.0 out of 5 stars a good CD
this CD is old, but however Brent has a good voice and the choice of the classical pieces was well done.
it is recommended for all Spiner's fans...

5.0 out of 5 stars The naysayers just don't get it...not too bright are they?
Look, this is an album of standards (if you don't like standards then you won't like this). It's sung in the style that these songs were originally sung in (if you don't like that... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of fluff
You would probably have to be both a Star Trek fan AND a fan of standards (the kind of music Sinatra sang) to really appreciate this album. Read more
