Dead or Alive - Nude

The best Dead Or Alive album ever !

When they left the Stock, Aitken & Waterman production team, I thought to myself : oh my god, it's too bad, that's going to be the end of them. How wrong was I ! It's not the end, it's the begginning, they're better without them !

This album is filled with non-stop hits : 4 high-energy singles (Turn around and count to ten, Come home (with me baby), Baby don't say goodbye, I cannot carry on (only released in japan) all packed with witty lyrics and brilliant music.

Even the album tracks could have been singles : Give it back (that love is mine) is dance and fun, Stop Kicking My Heart Around is the best dead or alive song ever, that music after the chorus is incredible : no dance band has ever been able to do better than this one (and this was written almost 20 years ago now !), My forbidden lover is the most electronic track i've ever listen to in my life (and I'm 33 years old now), there are no words to describe how good it is.

The only bad track on this album is I don't wanna be your boyfriend, it sounds so dated and out of place in here, just like the songs of their Fan the flame album that followed the next year (which was unfortunately their downfall).

Nude is their best album ever, they have never done better since. The album that followed was a real dissapointment (their music made a jump of 20 years in the past there, a real shame) and their recent releases (Nukleopatra & Fragile) are too bloody noisy and sound like all the bad techno-bands we can hear today where Nude sounded so fresh and unusual. Buy this album, you won't regret it because it's the best dance music album of all times. February 27, 2008

Take it off Pete!

This LP WILL BE LOVED and KISSED by you. Oh yes! Yes! Take it all off. Pete's striptease is a NEED at this point. This LP shows what DoA are really made of. A full maturation has ensued since "Sophisticated Boom Boom". SAW are GONE! Thank the Gods. Such over-rated producers as Stock Aitken and Waterman are missing here, so is the pretencious pop crap. You'll dance, you'll sing, you'll move and you'll probably undress. The shiners here are:
"Don't Say Goodbye", "Come Home With Me Baby". Although you'll find NO filler here. This LP is a must. You must, you must, you must increase your bust, and lips! I love you, and you'll love this undressed gem. January 30, 2006

Very good

I bought this way back when. as a tape. Lost it few years ago,so decided to get it on CD. Would`have`givin it a 5 star rating but for one song "I don't want to be your boyfriend".
This song is so bad there are not enuff words to describe just how much it sucks!!!

However, some of the other tracks as so great that "boyfriend " can be overlooked. "Turn around and count 2 ten' is a woderfull high energy dance track. I rate it as posibly the best Track DOA have ever done. YEs it is ten times better than "you spin me around " ever was!!!

"stop Kicking my heart around ", " My forbidden lover " and
" I cannot carry on " are almost as good as " Turn around and count 2 ten". "Come home with me " Is another standout good track, as is " Give it back that love is mine "

The last track is " baby don't say goodby" is OK not great but not bad. If you like this CD you must get a copy of the Very Rare Remix edition import from japan called " Nude: Remade Remodelled ". I think the there are 2 or 3 copies of this CD on Amazon.

I am sad to say that Nude was the last truely great DOA CD.
However, the band has recently released a hits colection and have said that they will return to the studio to make some new stuff.

Dont be Afraid to Listen to it in PUBLIC !!! Dont be a Wimp

This Album Is Fast and Fun and Not Only Good for Aerobics like another Brain dead Reviewer stated !!! It is the Kind of album you can slightly Reflect on and Enjoy for Pete Burns Brilliant Vocals !!! Leave your Aerobice tights and Leotards in the Closet for this Great album :) HA! April 6, 2004

Absolutely brilliant

This is one of those rare gems that any fan of 80s dance music must have. This is my third DOA album, and I thought that nothing could top Youthquake, "To Know", and Rip It Up. I was very wrong. This one easily surpasses these. All of the songs are excellent, and are generous in length, with some upwards of 5, 6, 7 minutes and are blended into one another to make it a non-stop album of brilliant melodies, catchy lyrics and thumping beats. You'll never grow tired of this one. October 21, 2002
