Ear-Resistible


. This by far is the best CD the Temptations have made,easy like Sunday morning,this is a must have CD for your collection if you don't have Ear-Resistible this is a must have.


Good CD
They have some really good tracks on this CD. They keep belting out the hits. It's worth the investment.


Enjoy the new era Temptations
Let's face it, the original lineup ended in 1968, the sound started changing in the 70's, and the Tempts have been evolving ever since. While it's not quite up to the standard of "Phoenix Rising" I do enjoy this CD. No need to bash the band because they can't conjure up the ghosts of David and Eddie. The new era Temptations do have some serious talent.

I'm glad Otis has kept the group alive. Also -- as noted by the excellent new CD "Legacy" -- Mr. Williams has a great eye for recruiting singing, instrumentation, and producing talent. He has successfully replaced great singers (Theo Peoples for one) with others. The latest and greatest addition is former Spinners front man G. C. Cameron.

On this CD, Terry Weeks clearly is a star. The ballads are tremendous as is "Elevator Eyes" and I particularly like long time tenor extrodinaire Ron Tyson leading "Gotta Get On the Road. "

Yes, as noted below, they shouldn't be singing songs about partying and so forth, some are grandparents. I could do without the silly intos and interludes, too, sadly R & B of today is obsessed with that stuff.

But all in all, a great effort by the legendary group, no matter what lineup is singing. Thanks Otis for keeping The Temptations alive!.


*Big sigh*


Other than that, there are some decent tracks. There is no doubt that these guys CAN SING, but my MAJOR gripe is whomever WRITES for them needs to REMEMBER that these men are MATURE in age and NOT 20-something!!! The cd is ok, but when I hear them sing a lyric that they are too old to be singing, I cannot take them seriously. Not a total disappointment. Legacy is better though :-).


The Legend goes on!
e. "Ear-Resistible" continues a trend established with 1998's successful "Phoenix Rising", i. , a mixture of the group's trademark harmonies with contemporary lyrics and beats. Sole original member Otis Williams, who also served as executive producer, knows the building blocks of the legendary group; thus, these guys know what they are all about. Their voices, while, at times, are reminiscent of the founding members, possess enough individuality to render their own distinctive sound, unlike no other.

The present Temptation quintet is unfairly compared to its predecessors. The reality is that any group that has been in existence for four decades (and counting) and continues to make good music is deserving of praise and support.

The album sports some really strong tracks ("I'm Here", "Your Love", "Elevator Eyes", "Party", "Proven & True", "I'll Just Go Crazy", and the thought-provoking "Error of Our Ways"). Even the "lesser" tracks are worlds above the songs drowning the airwaves of contemporary radio.

Good music, like a fine wine, is hard to find.

One can indulge in the ecstatic elegance of the Temptations.

"Resistence IS futile!".
