The Slamming of "Real"
I am really surprised to see how many people referred to Belinda's "Real" album in their critique of this album. Real is an amazing piece of work that doesn't deserve the lambasting it's getting in these reviews. The album was heralded upon its release as a treat for all those fans who loved the Go-Gos's feel of Belinda's style. While I think her debut solo album still rates as her best effort, Real is in second place for her most accomplished work to date. Each song is different and explores so many areas. The HIT single "Big Scary Animals" ranks as one of my favorite songs. Listen to it again guys/gals, I think maybe, if you get today's overproduced generic music out of your systems first, Real will take a bite of you, and won't let go!
