John Mellencamp took his signature blend of Stonesy rock and folk as far as it could go on Big Daddy, so he wisely returned to straight-ahead rock & roll with Whenever We Wanted. Uh-Huh was the last record he made that rocked as hard and consistently as this, and his songwriting had improved considerably in the years since that breakthrough release. Which means, of course, that Whenever We Wanted is more consistent than the earlier record, but it never reaches the highs of Uh-Huh. Even its best moments ("Love and Happiness," "Get a Leg Up," "Whenever We Wanted," "Again Tonight") shine because of their craftsmanship, failing to achieve the kinetic energy of his earlier work. Whenever We Wanted remains a solid record, but it's one that feels like a holding pattern. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Bold Bold Effort by this enormous talent Love all John's material, however this one really caught me by surprise. An album as jagged and clear as a crystal razor on a bed of ice. Submitted by faust8577 (Lorraine, Que. Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
one of his best this album is one of his best, it rocks a little harder than most Mellencamp releases. A more cheerful bunch of songs than he usually does too. The hit" Again Tonight" is here, and several other songs are just as good if not better. Submitted by highvoltagelll (raleigh nc) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.
