My Own Best Enemy – Richard Marx - Virgin Records (EMI Music)
Marx has been making records for other people, between albums and is back after over six years with his fifth album backed up with a new band. At the very first listen of ‘My Own Best Enemy’, Marx fans would make out that he has given a much more rocky edge to this album, but at he same time still retaining the beautifully crafted balladic tunes. Marx’s tonsils are still years later, remarkable indeed, soother and one of the attractions working splendidly on the 12 tracks. The lyrics are very personal, self - indulgent.
