There was not one dud on this album. "Fake", "Criticize" "Never Knew Love Like This"? Dayum this was tight. Play the album from start to finish, because it is a masterpiece of storytelling as well as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis taking full advantage of O'Neal's crooning voice. I wore out this cassette.
