Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Following his acrimonious split with musical partner Daniel Jones, Spin is the debut long-player from Savage Garden's Darren Hayes. The soft rock influences of the Jones era, are dumped in favour of superbly crafted pop and R&B numbers but with some more familiar sounding ballads thrown in too ("Insatiable" and "I Can't Ever Get Enough Of You"). In true Savage Garden style though, Darren's lyrics regularly descend into a confessional, cataloguing of his popular cultural tastes such as "Occasionally I can be caught dancin' to Britney... I like every single thing that Spielberg's done" ("Good Enough"), and also on the witty, 80s-tribute tune "1980 (Me)" ("...studded denim, big hair, acid wash, Rubik's cube, my boom box...") As on Affirmation Hayes manages to combine intelligent lyrical commentary on global politics and social issues, with the catchiest of backing melodies. On title track Spin, diverse issues ranging from Bosnia to HIV/AIDS are sensitively dealt with within a couple of verses over a funky George Michael-style "Faster Lover" tune. "Creepin' Up on You" sounds more Jacko, than the "King of Pop" does himself these days. This is a five-star album, which is guaranteed to give such established stars (as Jackson and Michael) a "run for their money".--John Galilee

5.0 out of 5 stars Insatiable, Can't Get Enough of this album!!!, 19 Mar 2002
By L. Byrne "wild.wild.heart." (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Spin (Audio CD)
This is such an amazing development from ex- Savage Garden star Darren Hayes. He's moved into a more mature, sexual, electronic r&b style, and it suits! His unbelievable falsetto vocals against the raw electronic sound are a total contradiction which still manage to pull together to form one of the best albumns of this year. It is not merely a follow on from Savage Garden, he has truly made his own music and it is superb! This record will not only be loved by all Savage Garden fans, but will undoubtedly convert many many more to Darren's unique talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME - will put you in a SPIN !!!!!, 24 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Spin (Audio CD)
Having long awaited for this CD it has met upto all my expectations. Not only do most of the songs have an instant impact some songs that I was not keen on at the start I now love. "I MISS YOU" is the most BEAUUUUTiful love song ever. It evokes memories of that indescribable feeling of first love. "Heart Attack" is a funky upbeat number which is reminiscent of Michael Jackson in the 1980's.There are little "tweeks" of gothic in some of the tunes and it all combines to be "Insatiable". "Good Enough" is a very honest and candid song about low self esteem and the questioning we all go through but we never believe our idol's do. In conclusion I would say that this CD is going to be a classic and and is absolute nectar to mind, body and soul.
That is SPIN !

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, brilliant, awesome, wonderful, SPIN!!, 13 May 2002
By C. Wakelin (Kettering, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Spin (Audio CD)
I bought this album on the strength of two or three times listening to the single Insatiable; something I have never done before. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like any of the songs on the album, but I needn't have been. Spin is never off my CD player now and I have bought 3 copies so that I have one upstairs, downstairs and in the car!!

The songs are a real mixture of pace, with several up tempo songs, Heart Attack, Dirty, Spin - how can you sing those lyrics so fast Darren? - and slower ballads like Insatiable, Good Enough, I Miss You. Darren sings them all brilliantly - his vocal range is amazing.

These are songs where you can, and should, listen to the words, which can be beautiful, passionate, sexy, angry etc. I wasn't a Savage garden fan but I understand this is Darren's usual way with lyrics - they always tell a story.

I adore this album and can't wait for his next offering. You will too!
