Customer Reviews of You're Under Arrest
Arresting Concept... I have no harsh words of criticism for Miles' 1985 pop-soft jazz effort. While so-called die hard fans of Miles or jazz used adjectives such as "flop", "poor quality", and "worst", it is anything but...The only slight unstable choices he made was to do cover instrumentals of Michael Jackson's Human Nature and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time at a time when the original songs were still fresh. Instead, he should have opted for writing a couple of original tunes himself (even if they were only going to be filler material---the key word being original).These two tracks ended up being played as light elevator music tunes in department or grocery stores. The rest of the album, however, showed that Miles could adapt to the changing times and styles of music in order to reach younger listeners as well. No longer was his music exclusive to hardcore jazz purists...Miles Davis is for the entire world !
As close to sterile as a Miles Davis album can get...
This too-polished studio album offers little of the edgy curiosity typical of Davis throughout his career. The opening ONE PHONE CALL--with Miles' actual raspy voice seemingly toying with his own media image--may have an implied political angle (i.e., police harassment), but even though I get the point it's still quite disconcerting to hear the same artist who recorded KIND OF BLUE playing the role of himself as a coke snorter. I wonder what key is he blowin' in? Adding insult to injury, the music is mostly a backdrop to the "vocals." Sting was brought in to imitate a French policeman, which sets up a battle to see which music legends' talents are wasted more. At least Miles' horn is heard at times.
Several generic arrangements of contemporary pop material--including TIME AFTER TIME--are redeemed by emotive Davis solos, while MS. MORRISINE has a reggae-lite tinge. Even SOMETHING'S ON YOUR MIND is mixed far too politely. Only KATIA (with John McLaughlin) and the title cut come closest to suggesting the aggessive live sound of the current group. Speaking of that, I saw Miles in concert when this CD was issued, and he performed this album in its entirety. It was amazing to hear the same tracks treated with fiery inspiration. For a taste of what I'm talking about, leave this CD alone and buy the DVD MILES IN MONTREAL instead. The difference is like night and day.
no good
This shows off the worst sides of 1980s music. Distant, cold, repetitive, unimaginative. Totally lacking. Nothing to like.
The energy which was all over Decoy is nowhere to be found here, except for a couple spots.
The hit song, the one on the radio, originally by that faux-punk female singer - it was interesting that he would choose to do that, and fill the summer air - from the sound of car radios - with it. And yet he chose it. It was a distinctive and unpredictable choice. The opening track is slightly interesting too - but not much.
This is the WORST Miles Davis album I've heard before. It's the only one I actually don't like.
