I'm on a continuous quest to weed my cd collection, and a new prime candidate for expulsion is George Michael's 'Older'. It's incredibly dated, I think - sure, it's got 'Fastlove' and 'The Strangest Thing' - but that's about it. 'Faith' is a much better album by far, and 'Listen Without Prejudice' has already covered some of the territory he's revisiting here on 'Older', but with an awful lot more substance (I mean, come on - 'Star People'? 'Freedom 90' towers head and shoulders above it).
My rule of thumb is I have to like at least 3 songs on an album in order to keep it (that doesn't apply to soundtracks with U2 or Tori Amos songs on them though), so I guess this one will not be getting much older in my house.....
