Amanda: Elvis is back everyone! Did you expect to see him again? I sure didn't. This album came out after a series of...interesting movies. Brie, did you ever see any these movies? I can tell you, they are just awful. Not Jim Carrey movies awful but still pretty bad.
Anyway, like I said in previous posts, I have been trained to like Elvis from an early age, so I always love listening to his songs. "Only the Strong Survive" was actually pretty good. Not the best album ever, but not awful.
RATING: 4/5
Well this is more like it. Elvis really does sound like he's in Memphis. This is a fine album, though of course he had a lot of help. But he brought together excellent players and backup singers, and a very good set of songs. And it's a great singing performance. Though they used the word "ghetto" too many times on that song.
