Standout Tracks: Dance Anthem Of The 80's / Blue Lips / Eet


Slightly torn on this one, but think it may be a grower. Definitely don't think it's Regina's best work; however, there are some pretty decent tunes. "Dance Anthem Of The 80's" for example, may be a little on the corny side, but I think it's the best song. There are also a few sort of sweet ballads, like "Blue Lips" and "Laughing With." Far is out today via Sire.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.
