Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Arriving as it did in 1990, before nostalgia for '70s dance music turned from irony to genuine appreciation, Lisa Stansfield's Affection was ahead of its time. Featuring up-to-date clubland rhythms percolating under sweeping string arrangements a la Barry White and classic Philly soul, Stansfield's music struck the perfect balance between looking forward and looking back. "All Around the World" was justifiably the album's smash hit, but more than a few of the other tracks--"This Is the Right Time," "Live Together," and "Poison" among them--are its equal. And it's easy to get lost in Stansfield's supple, soulful voice, which leads the way in making Affection a far more memorable affair than the usual dance trifle. --Daniel Durchholz

Timeless Soul.......2007-06-15

A well-crafted homage to the Philadelphia soul tradition, Lisa Stansfield's "Affection" was a refreshing change of pace in 1990. "All Around the World" and "This Is the Right Time" were international hits, yet the stellar track remains "The Love in Me" (featuring an impressive horn section). Stansfield also delivers the vocal goods with "Mighty Love," "You Can't Deny It" and "When Are You Coming Back?" This smashing debut represents her best album to date.

Been around the world... and still going strong in 2007 !.......2007-05-02

Just got a replacement cd of my favorite lisa stansfield album..."Affection" is one of those rare gems..that comes around every once in a while. when this came out in 1990 i was in my junior year in high school..and this album brings back fun memories.. if this was released in 2007 it would still be a smash hit !

Lisa stansfield is a class act. her soulful, seductive voice will warm your heart. her ballads are incredible..and her dance tracks are pure gold..she ranks right up there with paula abdul and madonna.

this album, is well produced from start to finish...no filler tracks here..every song here is special ..for me my favorites are " around the world","this is the right time" "What did i do to you" and the sultry "affection"

its no wonder she was seriously being considered by tim burton to play Catwoman when they were casting for Batman returns in 1990 she has that hypnotic beauty i think she would have nailed it...

in this day of cookie cutter/mass produced wannabe stars like brittany spears etc.. they cant compare to the vocals of the lovely ms stansfield.. this cd sounds fresh as the day it hit the racks..do yourself a favor check out this cd or any of her other albums you'll be glad you did...and use the brittany and lindsay cds as coasters...

LISA STANSFIELD.......2006-11-03

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ITEM, AND FOUND IT ON AMAZON! GREAT BUY, GOOD, AND I AM ENJOYING THE CD.

Still Impressive To This Day!.......2006-09-09

This is the album that proved to the world (as well as Black folks everywhere) that Teena Marie isn't the only white girl with soul. Proclaiming Barry White as her primary influence, Lisa Stansfield was an overnight sensation with the release of Affection. Although not solid all the way through, it's still worthy of being picked up the next time you see it in the used bin if you never bought the album. Affection had a soulful dance groove that can heard in a lot of other music by the likes of the Brand New Heavies and Soul II Soul. Classic cuts like the infectious singles "All Around The World," "You Can't Deny It," and "This Is The Right Time" will definitely have you reverting back to the easy-going times of the early 90s. And even though "All Woman" was a huge single on her follow-up album, Affection still stands the test of time as being the standout album of Lisa Stansfield's career.

The Best Of 80's.......2006-03-15

This was one of Lisa's best cd's, makes you miss the 80's.

Don't think twice... buy this one!.......2005-12-01

Beautifully written and sung by Joan, this CD is a must for JA fans. If you only buy one of her CD's, get this as it has all of her early classics. I am such a fan that I have recently gone and bought six more of her cd's... many songs I already have from this "Love and Affection" cd but her songs that did not make the classic cut are just as great to me.

..with a lover, i can really laugh, really laugh..i can really move..........2005-08-16

I don't know what it is about her songs that have such an affect (or, is it effect?...geez) on me. It's music that makes me feel, think, love. It's what it means to be a woman, to be a lover, to be whoever you are in this world. It's what music should be.

I own all the CDs. All of them. This is my favorite compilation. It's the music I listen to when I paint. It's one of those CDs that you lend to a potential bf; and if he says it's "okay," he loses his potential.

If you already love Joan, you have to have this. If you've never really heard her music and stumbled onto this page, you'll find something unique and from the soul in this music. Give it a try.

Great But One Glaring Omission.......2004-06-28

There's nothing much I can say about Joan that other reviewers have already said....but, I was very upset they didn't include one of her best songs, "Temptation." How could they possibly leave this song off of this collection? Now I have to buy the single CD collection just to get that song! Gggrrrrr.

No "What Do Boys Dream?".......2004-04-26

A great pair of CDs with one glaring problem: Track 20 on CD #2 is supposed to be "What Do Boys Dream?" but is instead "Tell Tale", which is a decent song, but not as good as the one it replaced. What went wrong?

Many lows but lots of compensatory highs.......2003-06-19

I don't know how I got into JA's music. I think I read a review of a concert she gave in Dallas back in 1995, and in the body of the review the writer listed some of Joan's song titles, and the titles, themselves, intrigued me. I went out and bought her then new CD, The Shouting Stage, and thought it was really horrible. Fast forward to last year when I somewhat capriciously decided to pick up her one disc greatest hits CD. I instantly fell in love with how unique some of the songs such as Cool Blue Stole My Heart, Heaven, and Love and Affection were. This 2 CD set has a lot of songs devoid of any hooks or brilliant lyrics (Simon, How Cruel, Temptation) but it has a lot of great songs that are exclusive to this CD. The track "I Must Be Going" is the most brilliant track I have ever heard and only available on CD format here....

This is a keeper!.......2007-05-03

I can't believe that i slept on this cd title. I've been a fan of Jody Watley since the Shalamar days. This may well be her best recording. I definitely rank it in the top three. Pretty much every song on here is slammin' from beginning to end. The saxophone and the bass guitars on some of these tracks are off the chain. The remix to "Looking for a new love" is the bomb as well. Much love to this sista'.

I'm not suprised.......2005-08-05

This cd is very good! I'm glad she is still doing her thing! I love the title track that is why I bought the album. But this cd is very good! I like "Pride & Joy" and "Stay."

Jody is still busy as ever check her out on her website. She is working on a remix album.

This not La Watley's best album. It sounds good, her voice is as velvety as ever, but the whole thing ends up as kind of lame.
The jazzy live version of Looking for a new love (Jody's 80s mega hit) makes the CD worth buying though. It's smooth, sexy and fun.

If you want something done right............2001-11-03

Her own style, her own music, and her own record label.. thats the only way to get things done!! This is Jody Watley the way she was meant to be. "Affection" is one of her strongest discs in years.. you can play this from start to finish. Get it while you can!

Sometimes you get what you wish for........2005-03-29

Sometimes it's frustrating be a music lover who is gay. You're expected to dig the club culture that produces such drab music and makes an icon out of Gwen Stefani and her crappy solo CD. Secretly, in your disc collection, you're listening to everything BUT dance albums, and the entire library of Luka Bloom rests comfortably next to the Blue Oyster Cult. Every so often, you really wish that a certain song was a little less straight and a little more twisted.

Mark Weigle understands this. Although you won't find any B.O.C. covers here, 14 of "Different and The Same's" 15 tracks are from other artists and are given a serious queer bent. Everyone from Trisha Yearwood ("What I Like About You") to Tommy Tutone get twiddles from Weigle's country folk sensibilities. A few of the songs here make perfect sense in this format, like Rosanne Cash's "The Truth About You," which becomes more about the struggle with the closet than the secreting of an affair. Of equal note is Pete Townsend's "And I Moved," which is suddenly transformed into a song about a slow, burning, longing and the encounter that the longing leads up to.

There are also a couple of fun moments here. Retooling the Jackson 5's "ABC" into "AZT" is good for a couple of chuckles. Better still is a radio worthy rip through Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jimmy" (originally Jenny). After all, the number on the men's room wall was more likely written there by a man, no? It's this kind of spin that makes Weigle and "Different and The Same" such a treat. He's also a delight live, and worth catching if he's playing a pride-fest in your town. With any luck, his well honed musical skills will help him get heard in a broader context.

Nice new sound, each song takes you to a new place. For those who love the clarity and beauty of solo piano. Paul does a great job at not sounding as if he has been listening too much to others music. His sound is his own. Its great!

As surprised as Kevin kern's music.......2000-09-23

I heard thousands of New age music. And many of them are piano solo. Most of them let me disppointed. But the piano music of Paul Cardall and Kevin Kern are the Best piano mucic ON THE WORLD !!! You will be never regretted to buy it. Listen to it more than twice times, then you will find your emotion for music !

Paul's Music - A True "Sign of Affection".......2000-09-09

I first heard Paul's music when one of his CD's was being played in a book store and immediately fell in love with the magic of his music. "Sign of Affection" has become one of my favorite CD's. There is such a sweet peace transmitted through Paul's music, even though one feels a tinge of sadness when listening to "Dave's Farewell." But the music also implants a feeling of hope and deep joy that touches the heart, as obviously Paul plays from the heart. I highly recommend this CD - not only to those who have felt sadness or lost a loved one, but anyone who wants to feel that "quiet peace that stirs the soul."

George Fenton is the master of subtle emotion!.......2000-07-06

the object of my affection is a movie that needed a composer to be sesititve to what was happening on screne. George was that man. he brought his gentle but genesis touch to a film full of emotions. The main title brings out the love and simpicity of the story. "out to work" brought out the quick wite and connection between a gay man and a straight woman. Overall, it is a wonderful score they got the right man to do the job. George Fenton is the best. He was the only man who could have given life to the unspoken emotions happening on screne. If you are wondering were he came from some of his other scores include Shadowlands, Ever After, and Anna and the king(with Jodie Foster). George you are a magnificent composer!

This is a wonderful CD for anyone who loves Jesus and great music. The band members are wonderful people who seek only to glorify their Savior, and they definitely do in this album.

the best good riddance album yet.......2004-07-28

This is a very very good CD. I own 3 other GR cd's besides this one, and this is definitely the best. Russ' voice has improved tremendously over time, especially compared with albums like "For God and Country." It seems like he has finally found his voice, and added the perfect amount of melody with hardcore. GR also has Bad Religion-esque lyrics, thought provoking with frequent 5-syllabled words. There are important messages in most songs, and then just some hardcore fun like track 2. What blows me away is that it seems less people now listen to Good Riddance, just as they are starting to get great. Anyway, do yourself a favor and buy this album.

nor cal's pride is still going strong.......2004-04-06

this band constantly proves that not all the great songs have already been written. russ is a smart dude, a really thoughtful lyricist, and put that together with some of the greatest musicians today, you get a consistent, hard edge political masterpiece. if you are a pissed off democrat and like good quality rockin music, this purchase will make your life better. and then you will be praying for their next album!!!

Like wine, they get better with age..........2003-08-03

With their sixth full-length, Bound by Ties of Blood and Affection, Santa Cruz's Good Riddance continue to develop and hone the sound they nearly perfected on its predecessor, Symptoms of a Leveling Spirit. This LP basically picks up where that one left off, and Russ's sharp lyrics continue to cut like a serrated edge. Adding Luke's anthemic guitar work, Chuck's meanly steady basslines, and Dave's unpredictable drumming to the mix makes for an incredibly compelling release.

These lyrics say more in a few paragraphs than some bands cough out in their entire discographies. By and large, the album sounds slightly more confident than Symptoms, but with an obviously greater cynical aftertaste than much of their back catalog. Topics include long distance love, media influence, and the disappointment that comes with age and from experience, among other relevent social issues. The album's conclusion sums up the retrospective feeling that life may have cheated us all: "So what's it all for? / When the lies mean so much more / Much more than reality / And what's the use of keeping score / When I've lost?" In addition, the literary quality of the lyrics is incredible. What other punk bands are going to name-drop James Joyce and adapt lines from Bukowski poems? Not too many.

So...

If you're looking for thoughtful and honest lyrical content which actually strays from the banal ideologies of most of the lyrics in this genre, then Good Riddance will help you out. And the music ain't too bad either.

Evolving one release at a time.......2003-07-03

Some say they have never changed. But Good Riddance has definately evolved in my mind. Into the epitome of hardcore pop-punk that is. With direction from the godfathers of punk there is no way this could have been a bad release. Only one song get's to me, the Blink 182-ish one not worth mentioning... Well let's just say that this isn't as Hardcore as Operation Phoenix, Not as poppy as thier first three releases... A coagulation of the past and present, hope for the future, intelligent political assertations, and the sappy love songs that never get old. 33 minutes of pure punk powerhouse. This is undeniably good music, even your mom and pops will love it. Highlights: Remember Me, Bobby Baun, Saccharine...

Good work by G.R........2003-06-10

This release grows on you, the more times you listen to it.
It's not as hard as Symptoms of a Leveling Spirit, but it's brilliant work. Once again, any true fan should buy this CD.
I would say it's one of their better albums.
