Английская Википедия:Free-for-All (Michael Penn album)
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox album Free-for-All is the second album by the American singer-songwriter Michael Penn, released in 1992 on RCA Records.[1][2] It contains two songs that reached the Top 20 on the Modern Rock charts: "Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In)" peaked at number 14, while the second single, "Seen the Doctor", reached nine spots higher. The album led to a bitter battle between Penn and his record company, pushing a follow-up album to 1997.
Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings The Chicago Tribune stated: "Penn is again working with producer Tony Berg, but this time they provide a rich, subtle blending of instruments, harmonies and textures to create an album that doesn't so much pop out as seep in."[3]
In his review for AllMusic, Stewart Mason wrote that it was the record which proved to critics that Penn was no one-hit wonder, calling "Long Way Down" a "dark and pained opening to an album that was hardly pop-star material."[4]
