I am always up for making new friends and discussing the music I love!!! Rating: - Excellent 'comeback' record"Coming Around Again" was Carly's first album for Arista Records and her strongest selling album for at least eight years at the time of its release (1986).

Every song sounds as if Phil Spector were in the next room screaming "more stuff!" Not one song is allowed to breathe; they all have to soar, with maximum instrumentation, overdub vocals, etc. How much more satisfying it would have been if a few of the numbers had been done simply!
