Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
George Michael's second post-Wham! outing, Listen Without Prejudice could not have been more appropriately titled. Following on the booty-shakin' heels of Faith, Listen found Michael being more serious than sassy. "Freedom 90" had a strong groove, a catchy melody, and of course, the sex-bomb video. The contemplative tone of the album is best illustrated by the other hit that it spawned, "Praying for Time." Michael's voice was as strong as ever, and he did indeed take several risks on the CD. "They Won't Go When I Go," (not a Michael composition) was almost cryptic, and "Cowboys and Angels" was a lament of a different kind. --Steve Gdula

Utterly gifted musician, perhaps too outstanding for most,
By ted (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Listen Without Prejudice (Audio CD)
Throughout his entire career, his songwriting has always been unique, the haunting qualities of his voice have always been at the forefront of his melodies. Yet, he has only ever produced 3 albums, and his last real album was over 7 years ago. Where others of less talent, would produce new albums every 6 months or yearly, George evidentely can only release material when he has 'something to say'. For many, George is the aspirational singer, songwriter. No one has ever combined such unique songwriting skills with such an emotive and addictive voice. In many ways, this album contains tracks that are as good (Emotionally, Spiritually,) as can ever be produced, by anyone, anywhere. Consider this, George was only 17 when he wrote 'careless whisper', seems incredible how someone so young had the maturity and talent to write / compose such a timeless and effortless ballad. There seems to be 2 types of people in life, those that will look at a product, and appreciate its qualities, regardless of fashion or what mass popularity dictates. Or those that can only follow the mainstream, and go along with whatever is popular, good or, more usually, the very bad indeed. So, the title of this album is perfect, for me and many others, its without doubt one of the very, very finest peices of music ever recorded. For others, it contains G.Michael who was ultra popular with girls when in Wham! so they can never get seen even holding the cd. What does it take to change the essence of a man ?

Where's Vol. 2?,

This review is from: Listen Without Prejudice (Audio CD)
"Faith" may have been the album that made him a superstar, but I think this is the album I listen to and enjoy more. There are still pop jams and ballads, but it feels more consistent than the previous album did. Also, unlike "Faith", this disc feels more timeless and removed from the 80's, even though it was released just in 1990. "Praying For Time" and "Freedom" are two of his best songs ever, and they both start off the album. "Waiting For That Day" and "Heal The Pain" are two great upbeat tracks, while a song like "Mothers Pride" is beautiful and moving. I find "Older" to be similar to "Listen Without Prejudice", but not quite as good. Overall my favorite of his, and I still listen to it often.

This review is from: Listen Without Prejudice (Audio CD)
This was Georges second solo album, the follow up to 1987s 'Faith'. Unlike 'Faith', 1990s 'Listen Without Prejudice' doesn't contain a lot of famous jams that still get play all this time later, but the material is probably much stronger & more mature. 'Freedom' is a killer track, but the highlight might be where he checks Stevie Wonders 1974 classic 'They Wont Go When I Go' & brings the same ominous feeling of the original. I like the vibe George was bringing here, this is a great set, a slower & darker atmosphere than usual. My favourite still has to be 1996s 'Older' but this album is 'the best', according to his fans. George would be out the game for six years after this album with all his record label drama but this was a nice effort to keep people going. I wonder if he'll ever make volume II?
