I ROBOT

Compared to the first album, "I Robot"'s formula is more short simple tracks, less progressive. It is well known that Alan PARSON is capable of producing accessible and catchy short tracks. Indeed, we have couples of interesting ones here: "The Voice", sounding almost disco; the FLOYD-esque "Day After Day"; "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You"; the poignant and nostalgic "Some Other Time", which is my favorite one; unfortunately, I find the rest not bad but unexciting: I believe Alan PARSON has to be more complex, and if not, at least more catchy if he tries the pop way: we'll have to wait for the next album "Pyramid", one of his catchiest album ever made!
