Q: Nostalgic, wimpy pop . I grew enamored with Eric Carmen's music, drawn in by not only the many honest, complicated emotions of his first two solo albums (especially Boats Against The Current) but also by the occasionally hard-hitting pop of The Raspberries. I got away from Carmen's work for a long time, but recently have been relistening to the old LP's and gave Change of Heart a spin. After hearing it again, I was surprised at three things. First, most songs seemed half-baked, with the chorus on most making a quick appearance and then repeating endlessly. These are short songs, devoid of development and any compositional reach. Second, the production seemed both overdone and timid at the same time. Overdone in the all-star backing musicians (Danny Kortchmar! Leland Sklar! Nigel Olsson! Burton Cummings! Jeff Porcaro!) playing very simple stuff. Overdone in the too-thick orchestration. Timid like the hand claps and piano glissandos on "Hey Deanie" and other examples throughout the album. Finally, I was surprised by the brevity. Only 8 tunes, with a syrupy orchestral variation on the title track. Again, underlining the overall theme of an uninspired, tired work

Q: Glen Ballard is The Kiss of Death to All Artists . This guy is a pop music clown who ruins careers. OLP have no business working with him and the result shows. OLP is way out of Ballards league and I have no idea why they would limit themselves to his naive view of pop music. Perhaps OLP wanted to have a sell-out sound, otherwise this disc is a disaster. Somewhere out there is pure disposable pop. None of this material would be on "Happiness" or "Spiritual Machines" How can you go from a concept album from a Ray Kurzveil book to a horrible Glen Ballard. over produced, pop record

A: NEG

Q: Stardust Was Good, but not THAT Good . Bill Charlap is undoubtedly one of the most talented, lyrcially-blessed jazz pianiasts around today. He has a deft touch and a senisbility that far exceeds his age and life experiences. That told, I find it very hard to give his latest effort, Stardust, more than two stars. With very few exceptions, I found this CD to be fairly self-indulgent and Charlap rather morose in his intrepretations. It wasn't nearly a refeshing to the ear as Written in the Stars. I would recommend this for a Charlap devotee but no one else. He has made better albums
