TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, 13 Jan 2001
By A Customer
So, after a thirteen year chart absence, they're back, what's changed? You would be forgiven for thinking that this album may be a lazy effort to cash in on thier successful tours, but each song is a masterpiece, better than anything they've done before...yes, even Karma Chameleon! George's voice has changed greatly since he first sang 'Do you really..',but the result is a more soulful, intense sound as displyed perfectly on 'Weep for the child' or 'Cold shoulder'. From the upbeat, reggae of 'I just wanna be loved' and 'Your kisses..' to the beautiful simplicity of 'Truth behind her smile' and sorrowful cry of 'Less than Perfect' (surely one of the best songs ever written), this album will keep even passing fans entertained from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars
come back with avengeance, 26 April 2008
This is the comeback of all comebacks, the lead single I Just Wanna Be Loved, sold by the bucket load and if it was released on the original release date would have been No.1, but with contracts and out of the country unable to promote it, it was put back a week only to be up against new releases from Cher "Believe", George Michael "Outside" and U2, but still smacked in the UK charts at No.4. They had a huge sell out tour of 1998, and i was lucky enough to see them, and boy did they rock!! Culture Club were hot all over again - and about time. I only think if they hadnt of waited a year after the single to release this cd, it would have been huge. The follow up single Your Kisses Are Charity, deserved a lot more appreciation and certainly more airplay, however it peaked at No.24, but what happened to Cold Shoulder / Starman, sales show that it was due to chart between No.11 to No.18 so why did it stall at No.41, that is the ingenius question!!!! Other stand out tracks on this cd, actually their isn't any duff tracks on this cd, it's full of winners, carefully chosen tracks which should have put Culture Club as one of the most remarkable groups of the last century. Put their chart positions and record sales side by side with the likes of Duran Duran, Wham! etc, and see who the real 80's stars actually were. Top marks.

Worth the Price, 10 Aug 2002
The last release from Culture Club is their best. It is a clever and jazzy collection, similar to earlier work, but with much savvy and intellect incorporated into the music and lyrics. It's one of those albums that is throroughly enjoyable all the way through, over and over again. I would say this is their best album of the bunch on the whole. If people knew just how good this album was, it would have sold more than Colour by Numbers.
