Repeat Offender

Repeat Offender is Richard Marx's second studio album which was released on April 26, 1989 by Capitol Records.
==Album Background==
After touring for fourteen months on his first album, Richard Marx returned to the studio with a number of songs that had been written while on the road. 
It was recorded with well-known L.A.-area studio musicians and would go on to become even more successful than his debut record, pushing Prince out of the #1 spot on Billboard 200 album chart. 
The album was the result of the energy generated from over a year and a half on the road and was written or co-written entirely by Marx. Marx said: "Some people might think that it would be easier this time around, that I could just kick back, but the truth is, it’s harder, I’ve got more to prove."

==Critical Reception==
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that the album "was almost as strong as his first, even if it shows that his songwriting has a tendency to slip into sappy, saccharine clichés."
