Na, weil das kein Meisterwerk ist, für das eine Höchstwertung gerechtfertigt wäre. Das ewige Motown-malen-nach-Zahlen nutzt sich langsam ab und "One More Night" beginnt beim zweiten Hören bestenfalls zu langweilen. Lichtblicke gibt es natürlich auch:
Sussudio *** Only You Know And I Know *** Long Long Way To Go ***** I Don't Wanna Know **** One More Night **
Don't Lose My Number *** Who Said I Would *** Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore **** Inside Out *** Take Me Home *****
Sussudio nur drei Sterne?? Na okay, Meisterwerk im landläufigen Sinne vielleicht nicht, aber im Collins-Kosmos halte ich die Wertung für berechtigt. Damit meine ich für meinen Teil aber den Gesamteindruck. Ich mag das nicht so songbezogen zerbröseln.
Eventuell bezieht sich die besagte Bewertung aber auch nur auf diese special edition mit zwei CDs, die ich gar nicht kenne.
ZitatAfter the one-two punch of Phil Collins' first two solo albums, Face Value and Hello, I Must be Going, plus the hits he was concurrently having with Genesis, it might seem like he was primed for an artistic and commercial drop-off. Instead, he responded with the biggest album of his career. No Jacket Required topped the charts in the U.S. and U.K., won a Grammy for Album of the Year, and spawned four Top Ten singles, including two numbers ones in "Sussudio" and "One More Night." It was such a monster success that it made Collins one of the biggest stars on the planet, something that a few years before seemed unlikely if not impossible. The reason why No Jacket was such a smash is simple: it combined the aching honesty of Face Value with the pop smarts of Hello, added some seriously focused songwriting, then coated it all in slick digital production that sounded great on the radio. Collins' gift for a huge hook came through on the Prince-inspired "Sussudio" most obviously, where he turns nonsense into something almost profound, but also on tracks like the big rocker "I Don't Wanna Know" and the soulful "Inside Out," which featured some of his trademark gated drum bashing. His knack for spilling his guts in heartbreaking, everyman fashion hits a new high on "One More Night," one of the most affecting ballads of the '80s. When he combines the hooks and the heartbreak, it comes together brilliantly. "Take Me Home" is a wrenching, soaring song that inspires singalongs and teardrops and "Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?" has the perfect combo of big drums, catchy chorus, and a weary heart. Add in flashy radio monsters like "Don't Lose My Number" and "Only You Know and I Know" that retain the horn-heavy sound of his earlier work while adding up-to-date keyboards; the even more Prince-inspired "Who Said I Would," and the closing piano ballad "We Said Hello Goodbye," and No Jacket Required ends up earning all the sales and accolades it got. Collins was at the top of his considerable game, the sound was state of the art, and there were more classic songs on one record than most pop stars could put together in an entire career. Too bad its chart and airwave dominance was so great that it inspired something of a backlash, one Collins never really recovered from despite having more hits in the future. While Face Value is still his solo masterpiece due to the raw emotion it transmits, No Jacket Required comes very, very close to topping it. [The album was reissued in 2016 with the addition of a second disc. It contained live performances of songs from the album, plus his big hit with Phillip Bailey, "Easy Lover." These tracks are fun, but the really fun bonuses are the three demos that show Collins early in the songwriting process, still working out the lyrics to "One More Night" and "Take Me Home." The remastered sound, deluxe packaging, and especially the demos, make this a package fit for such a great album.]
