It would be a cop-out to say, "This ain't my bag baby." However, there is a basic tunefulness missing from Crazier which is not made up for by any interesting rhythms or harmonies, while the hard-hitting production doesn't help either.

So, although it feels blasphemous to slag down one of the godfathers of hard synth rock and robo-pop culture, Crazier lacks both shallow sweet-flavours and hidden depths.
