Thoughts

This is exactly what you think it will be - Rick Astley, with his booming voice, doing the best he can with Stock, Aitken & Waterman goods. It’s fine pop for what it is, but it’s no wonder Never Gonna Give You Up is hte only one that really properly stands the test of time. What really annoys me is that Together Forever is basically the exact same song, with just the smallest of tweaks and a different title. Properly phoning it in SAW, do better!
