Richard Marx - Wouldn't Let Me Love You

[Stefan]

I've always had a weak spot for Richard Marx. Solid stuff.

From 'Inside My Head'.

great stuff imo...

Really excellent song off a great disc. The is one of if not my favourite track from it.

Marx has an incredible AOR voice. Not the biggest fan of (most of) his music, but his voice is great. Hadn't heard anything off this new album...is the rest of it as good as this song?

[Jez]

Good tune..Good new album too.

I thought it was about the best on here personally - here's a little track by track I did a while back. Brief as hell, but you get the point. I'm not a big enough fan to say, but I believe there is a mixture of tracks from past albums as well as new ones? Fans might be able to confirm, but I have heard a few of these tracks on some other random discs I've heard from him. Great album, though:

 

1. Had Enough - good melodic rocker, done better by Daughtry, but good anyway - 7.50

2. Wouldn't Let Me Love You - brilliant emotive melodic rock - 9.25

3. Like Heaven - another excellent emotive, heartfelt tune - 9.00

4. On The Inside - solid modern melodic rock - 7.25

5. Through My Veins - another very strong, emotive track - 8.25

6. Always On Your Mind - good solid song - 7.25

7. Loved - nice ballad - 7.00

8. Come Running - good solid modern rocker - 7.00

9. All Over Me - killer ballsy melodic hard rocker - 8.75

10. Scars - solid but not great rocker - 6.50

11. Done To Me - killer melodic rock song - 8.75

12. Over My Head - cool modern melodic rock - 7.25

13. Part of Me - killer melodic rocker - 9.25

 

TOTAL SCORE - 79%

 

The weak songs are pretty average, but the killers - and there are several - are brilliant melodic rock / AOR songs.
