Paul Young, one of the two lead singers for MIKE & THE MECHANICS, unexpectedly passed away in 2000 from a heart attack at the age of 53. He was a brilliant singer, with a full, rich, powerful voice, as well as an amazing performer. Besides Paul Young’s amazing vocal work throughout (and Paul Carrack’s too, of course), what strikes the listener about LIVING YEARS is how wonderfully crafted each and every song is. Whether rockers, ballads, or mid-tempo stuff, Mike Rutherford (of Genesis) and the boys have made a pop-rock album that simply glows.

The album immediately gets your attention with the striking “Nobody’s Perfect,”: sung marvelously by Paul Young. This is followed by the classic title song, sung beautifully by Paul Carrack, about losing someone you love before telling them everything you wanted to say to them. “Seeing Is Believing” is very catchy and is another great vocal showcase for Paul Young, “Nobody Knows” perfectly captures the mood of reminiscing over someone you’ve let go in a relationship, and “Poor boy down” is a strong punchy tune that again allows Paul Young to strut his stuff at the mike. The band goes into rocker-overdrive with the powerful “Blame”, showcasing Mike Rutherford’s furious attack on the guitar during the bridge.

ACTING VERY STRANGE -  AMERICAN ATLANTIC 80015-1 RELEASES (American Release has a small cutout in the LP jacket)

Acting very strange, indeed. This is far and away the most "fun" album anybody from Genesis ever did. Rutherford decided to let his hair down and have a ball, and his enjoyment shines through from the first note. This is not the mild-mannered upper-class Englishman we're familiar with. This is a Mike Rutherford who, knowing he can't sing to save his life, sings anyway with reckless abandon. The music is lively and toe-tapping, with hooks to grab the listener and not let go. If you're looking for the polish of Mike and the Mechanics, or the creativity of Genesis, you won't find it here. If you're looking for a great time and a lot of fun, you won't do any better.
