Customer Reviews

More please!
As one of the biggest Enuff Z'Nuff fans around, I was one of the first to admit that they did not exactly blow me away with their last release "Welcome to Blue Island". I loved Donnie Vie's stripped back solo record, and a few of the tunes from WTBI recalled their glory days, but I was disappointed that I hadn't heard any contenders for "true EZN classics" in awhile. To be fair, the band has put out 12 albums since 1989 (plus the Donnie Vie solo album and a ton of rare demos and covers). When I first heard about "?" I thought it would be another so-so record, with the bonus of cleanly recorded versions of some old favorite demos ("Home Tonight," "How Are You," and "Harleya"). Thankfully, I was wrong - though those songs still are the top 3 tracks. An enjoyable power pop record with a hard rock edge which won't disappoint fans of the band or genre. Also, I should note that these tracks employ the lineup from the self-titled EZN album - with Derek Frigo (RIP) on guitar and Vikki Foxx on drums.

Best Tracks:
"Gorgeous" - After the intentionally silly intro, this song kicks into pure power pop heaven. This song was penned and sung by bassist Chip Z'Nuff, proving he can hold his own with Donnie.
"Home Tonight" - Probably one of my top 10 all time EZN tracks. A Beatlesque charmer with sad lyrics and great vocals.
"No Place Like Home" - Would have fit right in on 1985 or the debut album with its simple structure and big chorus.
"Harleya" - A ballad paced track with an awesome chorus. Typically this is where I would say "this should be a hit," but the record buying public just wouldn't get it. Great song.
"How Are You" - The first 4 songs I named were pretty "big" in sound - fully electric and pretty upbeat. This acoustic song is simply gorgeous - a little melodramatic, but undeniable in its emotion and loaded with hooks. Thanks for finally making this one available guys!

Half is strong, half is average
Enuff Z'nuff are a great band with one of the most impressive catalogs of music available. Had they not gone the glam-metal route with their first two (and most successful) records, maybe they would've been huge. Who knows?

This is yet another strong effort from EZN, though not exactly their best (I'd give that title to either "Ten" or "Welcome to Blue Island.") The first track, "Gorgeous," is actually sung by bassist (and usually backing vocalist) Chip Z'nuff. He sounds exactly like Donnie (lead singer). As with most Enuff Z'nuff albums, the first 4 songs are the strongest, and then it kind of levels off. There's a cover of Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy," that's pretty good, but Metallica's version rocked harder.

This album reunited the 4 original band members, including Vikki Foxx (great drummer who's spent the last 10 years in the "Where are they now?" category), and Derek Frigo, who died of a drug overdose just after this CD was released.

Three in a row
They've been making great albums all along, but for me this is the third killer album in a row from Enuff Z'nuff where every song just clicks from start to finish. This album and the other two (2000's 10 and 2002's Welcome To Blue Island) are among my favorites in my entire CD collection.

"Help" (not a Beatles cover), "No Place Like Home", "Hang On For Life" and "Man With A Woman" are the standout tracks from this album. "This Guy", "Home Tonight", and "Joni Woni" are also very good.

But the killer track on this album is "Gorgeous", written by Chip and I'm guessing sung by him as well since that is definitely not Donnie's voice. What a geat song!

I would compare this album to Welcome To Blue Island in that it's a more straightforward, harder album with turned-up guitars, moreso than on their 1990's albums, but the hooks still come through in each song.

If you are starting out with Enuff Z'nuff, I would definitely recommend this album, 10 or Welcome To Blue Island...or better yet all three.
