If you ever wondered what it sounded like to take all the pieces of a band and their oeuvre and then let aliens try to reassemble it, in the dark, without any real understanding of music, and that band was Culture Club, this is what it would sound like.
I mean, you don’t really know that it’s CC until someone says, “Why are you listening to the worst Culture Club album?” and then you key in and you hear George O’Dowd. But the cheekiness is gone.
They had an album called Colour By Numbers. They should have named this one Recorded By Numbers.
Too bad. If they had their act together songs like “I Pray” might’ve been something. And “Come Clean” has a certain “Thank God It’s Christmas” by Queen quality. Not great but familiar.
