 This was their least enjoyable and entertaining record. There had been some personnel shuffling and internal discord, and they had shifted labels; this self-titled late '80s album lacked clever novelty tracks, hard-hitting rock/funk tunes, and even sultry, innuendo-laden ballads. It just had faceless, routine filler, weak arrangements, and generic production.
