Great Follow-Up.......2006-08-27

This was Tina's follow-up to her smash "Private Dancer" album and it was released two years after in 1986. This is a solid album, with few weak spots, and it's a surprise listening to it now that it seems forgotten nowadays. Many musical styles are blended here, from rock to pop and even a touch of country. Tina shows a complete range of talent here, with excellant turn of phrase, and perfect pitch throughout. The rocking "Back Where You Started" is a gem, and earned her a grammy. The pop hit "Typical Male", is a strong effort, and she really seemed to have fun with it. "What You Get Is What You See" has more than a touch of rockabilly, and it is such a fun song. "Paradise Is Here" has an understated feel to it, and it really works well. Overall in review, one cannot help but wonder if the buying public was beginning to tire of Ms. Turner, as the public's attention span is so notoriously short, because this album didn't really set the world on fire in the States. Overseas, it was a huge hit. Although one can tell, listening to it now, that it was done in the mid-eighties, it has really aged well. Falling in between "Private Dancer" and "Foreign Affair", it would be easy to overlook this album in search of Tina's best work. Don't overlook this album, though. True, it may not be her best album, but it certainly is very good, and Tina's good work is much better than most everyone else's best efforts. So get this album added to your collection, and enjoy!

Tina Breaks Every Rule!.......2005-08-30

Tina Turner is a legend through and through. She is the ULTIMATE idol. With her strong will against all odds, passion for music, and flair for captivating audiences around the world, Tina Turner is the epitome of the grande dame diva. Tina Turner has always been my idol and I admire her for her struggles and triumphs and I think she is one of the most influencial performers we have out there! Well, enough about me gushing!
"Break Every Rule" is a rocking and socking romp and it pleases any Tina fan whether they like the gritty hard-rockin'n'rolling tunes (The Bryan Adams penned "Back Where You Started"-which sounds soo Bryan Adams!) to soft and lush ballads (the gorgeous and flowing "Paradise Is Here") to pure pop fodder (the funky and slamming "Typical Male"). "Break Every Rule" does break every music rule. Tina mushes pop, rock, jazz, blues and even country to fuse together a diverse album, and one that was not a familliar album line-up back in the '80s.
"What You Get Is What You See" has a swinging, country and rock vibe while "Break Every Rule" sounds every little bit country as does "Till The Right Man Comes Along" and I almost picture Tina in a small dank saloon singing in cowboy boots!
My two favorites off this album have to be dark city street-esque "Afterglow" (great keyboard solo by Steve Windwood), the lush and loving "Two People". The David Bowie penned "Girls" is pleasing (though I'm not a fan of Bowie) and I'd like how Tina sang the song with such finesse.
I also LOVE "Typical Male", with Phil Collins playing the drums and Tina belting out sassy lyrics, I love the distant keyboards and the little sassy message this song has. Then icing on the cake for me is "Paradise Is Here" which is just so beautiful and so meldoic. I love the sax part.
"Break Every Rule" is one of Tina's finest hours and she certainly knows how to put a diverse and stunning piece of musicship together!

TIMELESS POP FROM THE QUEEN HERSELF.......2005-05-21

I bought this CD for only one song, "Break Every Rule", and I found that far from having only one track that appeals to me, I love the whole record. Of course, this is the follow up to her big comeback record, and the superstars of the 80's came out in their strength to help write and record this record. Byran Adams, Phil Collins, Rupert Hine, Steve Winwood, David Bowie, Mark Knopfler either wrote or played on the record. Most of them did both. It sounds a little 80's at first, but the songwriting talent is so immense, the record is so musical that you soon forget some of the novelties of 80's production and find yourself listening to the fabulous voice of Tina Turner. She takes all the material and really makes it her own, without losing that wonderful sense of nuance in required by each song. Worthy of mention also are the team of Terry Britten and Graham Lyle. When the big name stars were done filling in on one half of the tracks, these two keep their end up to par with polished writing and solid production. Oddly enough, "Break Every Rule" doesnt seem to appear on the new Greatest Hits package of hers. Maybe they hope people will buy this record just to get that track? Take my advice and do so, you wont regret it. I love this record and I think you will too!

Fine effort from Tina! .......2005-01-02

I remembered when this album came out in 1986. I liked Typical Male, where Tina tried to go for the dance sound that Janet Jackson did on her Control album. The rest of the album has a rockier feel, especially on What You Get, Break Every Rule and some other cuts. While I like Two People, it sounds like both What's Love Got To Do With It and We Don't Need Another Hero, especially on the bridge leading to the final chorus section of the song. I find myself singing both What's Love and Hero at that part. Tina must have been so blown away after Private Dancer's multiplatinum success that she wanted another song like that on this one. Maybe she didn't know that when she recorded this song. But Break Every Rule was another solid post-Private period effort from her.

Overlooked gem.......2004-10-21

While 1984's "Private Dancer" was a smash, Tina Turner's follow-up, 1986's "Break Every Rule" was considered a bit of a disappointment by critics and from a sales point of view, it paled in comparison to its predecessor. Strangely, the album followed the pattern of the first with mid-tempo ballads ("Two People" modeled after "What's Love"), rocerks ("What You Get Is What You See", "Back Where You Started"), a David Bowie cover ("Girls", whereas "1984" was on 'Private Dancer') and catchy pop ("Typical Male", "Paradise Is Here") yet that may ultimately have worked against the album.

On the whole, it works, as many of the songs have hit potential, and some of them indeed were hits, especially "Typical Male" which was a Top Five hit. Overall, I enjoy 'Break Every Rule' more than 'Private Dancer' because I find there is a better selection of songs.

"Two People" is a superior mid-tempo ballad powered by Tina's excellent interpretation. The use of her lower register is notable here. (Note: seek out the 12" version as it adds more instrumentation and is even better than the album version). The title track is also a fine love song, which inexplicably never became a hit. The same can be said for "Paradise Is Here" which should have also been a hit.

Also, this album gives us more of the sassy Tina, particularly on "What You Get Is What You See", "Back Where You Started" and "Til The Right Man Comes Along".

Tina's cover of "Girls" is a knockout and will please both Bowie and Turner fans. Seek this one out.

PURE ROCK N TINA.......2002-11-18

This is "sophomore" cd after the smash Private Dancer.
This album explores the more rock n roll Tina.
The whole thing is great from Typical Male, to (seems like her theme song) I'll Be Thunder, to the mysterious Girls to the duet with Bryan Adams Back Where You Started.
I love every song on this album. I have always loved Tina and will continue doing so for years to come.
This is one of my finest cds in my collections.

Bounderies are ment to be broken..........2002-11-13

This CD by Tina follows up her success with PRIVATE DANCER.
She probably thought it best to stick to the soul/rock formula in 1986 too..and figures proved her right.
The album sold amazingly well, the tour wich supported it ended up sometime in 1988, somewhere in brazil, with the largest crowd ever assembled til then for a single performer.
Getting back to the album, she delivers great performances all through the CD.
Does not matter if you're on the dancefloor (TYPICAL MALE) - or even a countrybar dancefloor (WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET) -, if you are in the bedroom with the one you love (TWO PEOPLE, PARADISE IS HERE) or driving in the car (TIL THE RIGHT MAN COMES ALONG); not even if you have your headphone set on (AFTERGLOW): she will always gets thru.
Tina enlisted a little help from her friends again having David Bowie writing the splendid and glittering GIRLS, Bryan Adams bringin over the right rocker's touch to the guitar-driven BACK WHERE YOU STARTED and Mark Knopfler coming up with the honky-tonky-flavoured OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
This album is just about perfect for everyone...
pick your favourite environment and take a good listen to it!
