Customer Reviews:

EXCELLENT!.......2006-12-15

MUST HAVE COLLECTIBLE! Dont pass on this one, you'll regret it! Especially if you are an 80s or Freestyle Music Collecter!

It may be a short CD, but there's no filler. Outstanding, definitive 80's CD........2006-12-11

I'm sure most people who rate this CD highly are like me- people who were clubbers in the 80s, or at the very least had an affinity for 80s dance club music. While the title track most exemplifies that definition, and "Give Me Tonight" and "My Heart's Divided" too were found in the club circuit, "Sweet Somebody" and "It's You" were always my favorite songs from this CD and I was dumbfounded as to why they were shorted when it came to radio play. How many times me and my girl at the time snuggled or slow danced to "It's You," I can't begin to tell you. And admittedly it carries sentimental power for that reason. But like "Someone Waiting Home" it's a beautful ballad, a wonderful 80's melody. To contemporary clubbers, this CD may seem a dinosaur, and to be fair, in musical composition it is relatively dated. But judged on it's own merit, for a short CD it has absolutely no grizzle, and consequently just flies by when listening to it. I always found it a total shame Shannon was incapable of producing as solid a follow up, or any CDs with similar acclaim or appeal. But that's the industry, and dance/club music is and always will be a fickle category. That said, if you're from this era and never listened beyond the radio play cuts, shame on you. Buy this CD! If you're eclectic in taste or a contemporary fan of dance music with an appreciation for it's evolution, ditto. The 80s had some not so well promoted jewels that are being brought out of the closet with today's technology, and this CD is proof.

Title Song Was Classic.......2005-12-23

Even though I consider the album a bit standard, the title song (as well as "Give Me The Night") still rank as two of my favorite dance songs of the 1980s.

Getting this CD will add to your collection, but don't spend over twenty dollars.

Let the music PLAY!!!!.......2004-08-03

Can't get enough of The System,who share labels with Shannon or Madonna or the Pet Shop Boys?Well you'll find music
alot like those artists here.'Let The Music Play',both the
compulsively kinetic song itself and the album,are perfect
examples of the genre of dance-pop;heavy,spiky synthesizers,
industrial strengh beats and big bassy backrounds!Add with that
big,catchy tunes like "Give Me Tonight","My Heart's Divided",
the rockin' "One Man" and the funky "Sweet Somebody" and you've
got a big enough musical platter to keep the music playing ALL
the time!Just be warned it'll be VERY hard to sit down!

More Great 80's dance music!!!.......2004-02-14

First thing this is one of my all-time favorite albums!!! When this lp came out in 1984 it was one of those defining moments in my life!!! Shannon's debut is great 80's dance!!! she mixes rock, strong ballads and great dance grooves with a nice strong voice!! I'm glad i got this on cd before this cd went out of print!! I love all of Shannon's music!!!
