Customer Reviews for Falco 3
Rock Me Amadeus!
Rating:
I gotta say this album holds a special place in my heart. I know that might sound corny but it's true. I got into Falco's music after seeing Rock Me Amadeus on VH1's Pop Up Video. That song caught my attention right away and I wondered who the hell is this guy. I've got to hear more of his music. It took me awhile to find/buy this cd. I have the German version of Falco 3 (the version with his signature on the front, red cover).
Let me breakdown the tracklisting for ya. I'll give commentary for tracks I really enjoy.
1. Rock Me Amadeus--5 stars. This song is so amazing and so catchy. It will definitely stay stuck in your head. Hell, I'd label this song as the best song that came out of the 80s. It is seriously that good.
2. America-3.5 stars
3. Tango The Night--4 stars
4. Munich Girls--3.5 stars
5. Jeanny--5 stars--I'm surprised this song didn't catch fire over here in the states. I was pretty young in 1986 so I honestly didn't know who Falco was/didn't know what people were saying about Falco during his bit of popularity here in the US. I'd wager a guess and say people thought Falco was a bit of a campy artist. Amadeus (the movie) was popular at the time and people enjoyed Rock Me Amadeus because of that fact. Lightning will never strike for this guy twice, ya know? It's sorta disappointing if that was the thought going on at the time. I'm not saying Falco didn't have campy videos or campy scenes in his videos. I'm just saying that it's songs like Jeanny that makes me think a lot of people just didn't give the guy enough credit.
6. Vienna Calling --5 stars--Another incredibly catchy song
7. Manner Des Westens-Any Kind Of Land --5 stars--Another damn good song that's incredibly catchy
8. Nothing Sweeter Than Arabia--5 stars--lol, same thing. It's a catchy song imo.
9. Macho Macho-5 stars--This is a rather light song. I did some prejudging when I read the title Macho Macho. It sounded like it'd be a stupid song. I listened to it and I immediately enjoyed it.
10. It's All Over Now Baby Blue --2 stars--I imagine this song is a touchy point among Falco fans. Some people probably think this is the best song he ever recorded. I have to confess and say I think it's a weak song. I'd rather have Urban Tropical on the cd instead of this song.

I just love Falco.

I am sorry but I cannot get enough of Falco. I will get every single recording that remains out there. Yeah, I am not discriminating. Since he is no longer here I want all I can get. Even the bad stuff. This is really great!!!!
