5.0 out of 5 stars DAMNED IF YOU DO, October 22, 2002

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Wow...couldn't believe some of the backlash in other reviewers' comments. I have all of Mr. Parsons' works and to me, this is one of his best. I think the melodic content and lyrics are top notch, and if one looks deep into this collection, you'll see an almost mournful reflection on the state of women.
"Lucifer" is a fine instrumental opening, typical of Parsons ability to make repetition interesting; "You Lie Down with Dogs" is a marvelously satiric look at what happens when you "lower" yourself to perhaps indulge in a little friskiness outside the norm; "I'd Rather Be a Man" is no more than an ode to the redneck, and works quite well, I think;"Windind Me Up" is bouncy, infectious and harmless; "Damned If I Do" is one of my favorite Parsons songs---the soaring string arrangement amidst the quasi-rock feel work well in conveying the feeling that you are damned if you do, damned if you don't..."Don't Hold Back" is one of those lovely Parsons ballads that uses the female voice to remind men that we wouldn't be well off without the fairer species; and "If I could Change Your Mind" is another winner, a lush and lovely vocalization that surreally wraps up the collection. Chauvinistic---I hardly think so; musically brilliant? As always (with the exception of "Vulture Culture" and "Time Machine")./
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Primo Alan Parsons Project, April 27, 2004

By	Michael Bond (Shawnee, OK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is one of many many many that express the feelings of the composer/artist. The point of view of this album is of a man who is angry with a woman. This also is not a first. Picasso, for example, portreyed his women increasingly distorted the more he tired of them. Don't let that turn you off from this album.

Most of the songs are good, some are excellent. The track by Leslie Duncan is one of my favorites and has prompted me to find out more about her.

Classic Alan Parsons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Long time APP fan, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

Am I the only one who noticed that the intro to the Lucifer track made use of morse code letters to spell out e-v-e? ( . ...- . )

Little things like that are part of what I really enjoy about APP albums. They're all a must have.
