George and Andrew had a lot of fun back in the old days. You can tell that from this album. They don't take themselves or life too seriously, an attitude that shines through in such songs as "Bad Boys", "Club Tropicana", "Young Guns" and the classic "Wham! Rap." But George also shows the promise he will realize later with more a introspective song such as "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light." The song manages to be intimate, sensitive and yet sensual at the same time. The George Michael of that song is more closely akin to the man who wrote the unforgettable "Careless Whisper" (on their second album) and "Father Figure" (from the incredible album Faith).
But right now, the boys are just having fun. So it's best to simply turn up the volume and dance along with them. Life isn't that complicated when you're 18, after all.
"Club Tropicana, drinks are free. Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone!"

The boys of Wham! will help you reach that goal!

Stuck in traffic? Got in a fight with a loved one? Somebody spilled beer on your favorite hotpink t-shirt?
This album will take all of that pain away and more.
Such issues as unemployment and teen pregnancy were never fun to dance to...until now! Say what you will about George Michael, but in my opinion, he is one talented man. Buy this.

A Feel Good Album
Oct 10 2004
By Dorrie Wheeler
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Although it's only 8 songs deep, "Fantastic" is simply a fantastic album, I only wish that Wham's later albums would have been as good as this one. What makes "Fantastic" a good album is because it so much seemed to be about having fun and a good time. Songs like "Come On," "Ray of Sunshine," "Love Machine," Club Tropicana," and "Wham rap," just make you want to get up and dance. Although this album was released in the early 80's, it still has a late 70's disco vibe going on. The one ballad on the album, "Nothing Looks The Same In The Light," is classic. If you didn't become a Wham fan until their second album, be sure to check out this one too. It's a bit short but it's very sweet!

"Ev'rybody say 'WHAM!'"
Mar 10 1999
By yokoboy@hotmail.com
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is where it all started. This is the album that made me fall in love with the 'Boys from WHAM!' Althought they would not top the US charts until their next LP, this one still remains my favorite. Featuring the club classics "WHAM! Rap (Enjoy What You Do)", "Young Guns (Go For It)", "Club Tropicana", and the minor US success "Bad Boys", this album never lets the party end.
Besides the four brilliant singles, the album features the Motown classic "Love Machine" (a former hit for the Miracles) as well as the WHAM! classic "A Ray of Sunshine", probably one of George Michael's better pieces of work to date. This album is a must for anyone who loves the party music of the 80's, and for those of us who lived though the era, welcomes a happy return to days where things were so much brighter (could be the florescent colors we all wore back then!!).
