Tangled

When Jane Wiedlin followed Belinda Carlisle's lead and pursued a solo career, the former Go-Go encountered more than her share of skepticism, even among Go-Gos fans. The skepticism proved to be well-founded when Tangled hit the streets. Although a decent musician, Wiedlin doesn't have much of a voice — and her inadequacy as a singer is made all the more obvious by the pedestrian nature of the songs. None of this sugary, girlish pop-rock begins to compare with the Go-Gos' triumphs — or even Carlisle's solo projects. There's nothing wrong with sugary, girlish pop-rock if it's well done, but Tangled most certainly isn't. Between Wiedlin's weak singing and the consistently poor material, Tangled is a disc to avoid.
