I can't believe it took 7 years for this. All I Need is the best song on the CD but its all downhill after that. Not sure who this album is supposed to appeal to, and by the looks of its success and availability, I guess not to many. Most of you seem to like it so I am obviously the minority here. I am still a huge fan of songs he did with the Doobies (i.e. Nothing But a Heartache, Dedicate this Heart, Your Made that Way, Losin End, etc.) and I liked If That's What it Takes, but most songs on Blue Obssession are nothing more than Easy Listening music that's not so easy to listen to. The upbeat songs sound forced. On Build Upon It, which is a Takin' It to The Streets rip off, before the song even opens and sets a tone, its already in the chorus. If this was Michael's first album, I would never buy his second.
