Query: The Absolute Worst of the Solo Efforts

This album just plain stinks! It is the product of a pompous, egotistical megalomaniac. Oh, and look at the all-star cast: Cher, Helen Reddy, Liza Minelli, just to name a few. This album reeks of blantant shameless commercialism. "See You in Your Dreams" is a great song off of the "Rock-n-Roll Over" album. It was remade on this album and absolutely ruined. To make matters worse, it then fades into "When You Wish Upon a Star." "Tunnel of Love" and "Livin' in Sin" are examples of Gene's overwhelming obsession with sex and with his narcisistic self. The only cut that has any alleged redeeming qualities is "Radioactive." This song translated very well into the Dynasty Tour's live set. Still, that doesn't change the fact that this album is just plain lousy. It's only value is as a collector's item. Any sane person would be embarassed to be caught listening to it.
