When the Night is Over (1991)Released by Little Louie & Marc AnthonyAlbum Score: 7"Friends, Romans, countrymen. Lend me your ears!" Yeah, Marc Anthony was in a Shakespeare play. That's awesome...Surely, Marc Anthony had salsa roots. There must have at least been some point in his childhood when he sang salsa for his parents and siblings, or something. Based on Marc Anthony's first musical published musical appearance in 1991, you'd think stuff like his "Latin crossover" eponymous 1999 album was returning to his "roots" instead of the other way around. Anthony actually is an American, so it's not like he brought back the music from his homeland! So, here is Anthony's oft-neglected first album! It's straight house/techno music that's along similar lines as Madonna's Erotica released a year later. As far as I'm concerned, it's oft-neglected for pretty good reasons, because it's kind of crappy. This isn't necessarily worse than the tripe he would try pulling off later in his career, but that doesn't forgive the fact that this album doesn't make too great of a listen.As I know the story, this house/techno producer named Little Louie wanted someone to sing on his new album, so he found this 2,000 year old Roman guy for the duties. Of course, Anthony had nothing to do with the songwriting or production. That's no big shakes, because he had nothing to do with the songwriting or production of his real debut, Otra Nota. I'll tell you that I enjoy listening to Anthony's voice on some occasions, but he sounds like he thought he was much better a singer than he really is. He's slightly nauseating and rather frilly; I suspect that Anthony wasn't given time to rehearse this much. Not that it would have helped.Practically all of this is woefully overextended house/techno songs that start getting old already by the first thirty seconds. Mercifully, however, the album does contain two rather surprising highlights, which at least proves to me this "Little Louie" man wasn't all that bad. First of all, there's some especially nice instrumental touches contained in "If I Had the Opportunity." I also enjoyed listening to their instrumental "The Masters at Work." It wasn't quite worthy as the egotistical song title they decided to dub it, but it's a nice bongo-heavy track with the unique idea to add some jazzy, dissonant piano chords.For some reason, two people in serious running to be voted as the prom king and queen from Hell (Michael Bolton and Diane Warren) surface here with one of the album's only ballads, "Walk Away." I think you might actually want to run away from that thing. "Time" is probably the worst of all the house/techno songs. That one's not just dead dull, but it's thoroughly obnoxious. Hiding under the guise as a bonus track, an eight minute instrumental "Ride" is absolutely the worst of the worst. I could only bear to listen to that song once, and even then I fear it did some serious brain damage. It's mind-boggling how annoying it is; I have to bear through that unchanging, wholly generic groove until, by the graces of God, eight minutes has finally passed. I'd rather spend that time electrocuting my eyeballs.It's true this album might be dang awful, but it has one thing going for it: It's actually a little bit better than I expected. Yeah, it's boring and stupid, and the lowlights greatly outweigh the highlights, but at least it's not such an abysmal experience. Furthermore, I had a much better time with it when I was listening to it before writing the track reviews when I wasn't paying that close attention. So, if you decide to listen to this album, your best bet is to not really listen to it.Read the track reviews and reader comments:

Marc Anthony (1999)Album Score: 4WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!? Remember the guy who seemed poised to take over the world with his brand of enjoyable lite-salsa? Remember the guy who had likable, well-orchestrated songs even when the melodies weren't much to speak of? Remember the guy who sang salsa and had, at most, two ballads per album? Heck, remember Mr. Toilet Face who was at least tolerable when he was sucky? This man is gone. What we have in his place is this smarmy Michael Bolton wannabe. In 1999, Marc Anthony had turned into an enemy of music. He completely reversed his priorities. The salsa is out and ballads are thrust in their place. You might be thinking: "Hm, maybe that's not so bad. After all the ballads in his previous album were tasteful enough." Trust me. These ballads are exclusively pieces of pseduo-dramatic, overproduced excrement. I struggle to find anything even remotely likable about them.The next step in our discussion is to determine what caused this turn for depravity. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears, for I will tell you what happened to Marc Anthony: Ricky Martin, the devil himself. He came in riding high on his newfound fame, and with him came a huge following of other Hispanic musicians with similar cut-rate music. The runaway success with their hybrid between Latin and dance music was a major cash cow and everyone made millions. Marc Anthony licked his lips with anticipation of untold riches and he was quick to jump on the bandwagon. So, he released Marc Anthony, a crappy album aimed directly for simpletons with loose pocket books. Just to throw an extra kink in the motor, this music isn't really Latin. Sure some it is, but only a little bit. What happened??? Does "Latin crossover" mean that Latin musicians stopped sounding like they were Latin, but more like Michael Bolton? There are only two salsa-esque songs here, "That's OK" and the ending track, "De La Vuelta." The ending track is OK, but the inclusion of the other one doesn't manage to help matters much because of its status as a piece of crap.I wish I could say that's all, but I have ANOTHER fact that will prove to you how evil this world really is. This fact forever tarnishes what little reputation Marc Anthony had in my eyes. He actually co-wrote most of these songs. That's right. This album was the result of a cold and calculated move for Anthony. Marc Anthony might never have had his ears, but now he lost his taste. Judging by those sunglasses, he also lost his vision. What a waste.Read the track reviews and reader comments:

Marc Anthony

In 1992, Vega and Anthony hit the mainstream when they opened for Latin legend Tito Puente. It was around this time that the influence of salsa performers such as Puente, Rubin Blades and Juan Gabriel began to show in Anthony's music. In 1993, he released his first Spanish language album, Otra Nota, to both popular and critical acclaim. Tours around the world followed, but Anthony remained relatively unknown outside of the Latin music scene until September 1999, when he released his debut English language album titled "Marc Anthony." Sixth months after its release, the album went platinum. It is now quadruple platinum.

"I Need to Know" is a 1999 song by Latin singer Marc Anthony and is the leading single from his fourth studio album Marc Anthony. It went to number 3 in the United States, number 28 in the United Kingdom, number 20 in New Zealand and Australia, number 1 in Poland, number 5 in Canada, number 8 in Finland and number 18 in the Netherlands. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2000.
