Yeah, it's a mixed bag, but imo the good is very good.
Lite Me Up is one that I've had to reevaluate. It's not at all a "dance" record, it's a LA Pop record, i.e. a record made through the lens of all the things that were in the orb of the Porcaro brothers at that time. I know a guy who's at once a serious jazz pianist and a serious Porcaro brothers fan (hey...) and he swears by this record.
Can't say that I like it any big lots more now, but having a different perspective like this..I think I appreciate it a lot more now than before.
