专辑介绍

by Donald A. Guarisco

Boney M.'s follow-up to their 1976 success Take the Heat Off Me closely adheres to the formula established by that album: a combination of original songs and offbeat cover versions done in a style that marries bubblegum pop hooks to a disco beat. Like its predecessor, Love for Sale also scored some notable international hits: &Ma Baker& is a colorful gangster story that boasts a stuttered vocal hook guaranteed to stick in the listener's head, and &Belfast& is an up-tempo dancefloor stormer that works some surprisingly heavy sounding power chords into the group's slick dancefloor sound. Frank Farian's slick, lush production ensures that the album is a slick piece of ear candy from start to finish. However, the album tracks are not as consistent this time out: the cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's &Have You Ever Seen the Rain& benefits from an effective rhythm guitar hook but the up-tempo arrangement robs the song of its emotional power, and &Gloria Can You Waddle,& while catchy, is little more than a rewrite of the group's early European hit &Baby Do You Wanna Bump.& With these criticisms in mind, the album still offers enough strong tracks to please Boney M.'s fan base. The most interesting of these is a ballad style cover of the Yardbirds' &Still I'm Sad,& which transforms this rock song into an effective mood piece dominated by the group's Gregorian chant-like humming. In short, Love for Sale is a solid listen for Boney M. fans, but casual listeners who just want the hits should probably opt for one of the group's compilations.
