How can this article say Ordinary Alien garnered some of the best reviews of George’s career? The reviews of it I have seen have been mediocre to negative. It certainly has not gotten the good reviews of his past albums like Cheapness and Beauty. The album is awful, just generic house/trance remixes. What happened to the Boy George who used to be original and creative?
This album is a flop, no new era for George. He needs to go back to less dance oriented music. This kind of music doesn’t suit his voice at all.
I have had a digital copy of this album for a couple of weeks now (although I have three different tracks on mine and vice versa on this?) and I must say it is fantastic!, a combination of dance tunes with Boy George’s brilliant vocals gives a new era for the Boy….
