A concept album of sorts in the sense that each of the songs has something to do with water, Wet was the third of a trilogy of albums produced by Gary Klein in a soft rock vein increasingly set in the synth-pop style of the late '70s and early '80s. The concept allowed for a range of material, from old favorite Harold Arlen's &Come Rain or Come Shine& to an updated version of the old Bobby Darin hit &Splish Splash.& The album's number one hit was &No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),& a disco duet with Donna Summer. But most of the songs were newly written ballads attempting to re-create the &Evergreen&/&The Way We Were& style of Streisand's recent hits. &Kiss Me in the Rain''& grazed the Top 40, but most of that material was substandard. Yet there was enough variety on the album to make it an average Streisand outing.
