Take the claustrophobic, paranoid \"Family Man\" -- covering an art rocker like Mike Oldfield suggests a far different agenda than crafting a tribute to the Temptations, and while \"Family Man\" isn't as key to the album as \"Looking for a Good Sign\" was to Private Eyes, it does indicate the relatively somber tone of H2O. Not that the album is a tortured dark night of the soul -- how could it be, when John Oates kicks off the second side with the proudly silly \"Italian Girls\"? -- but the production and performances are precise and deliberate, effectively muting the pop thrills that spilled over on its predecessor. Even if the album was recorded with Hall \u0026amp; Oates' touring band -- something that the duo and their co-producer Neil Kernon confirm in the excellent liner notes by Ken Sharp in the 2004 reissue -- H2O feels as if most songs were cut to a click track, and are just slightly too polished for their own good; when the productions open up a bit, the band still sounds terrific, but they never are given the opportunity to sound as big and bold as they do on Private Eyes. This, coupled with a few drawn-out duds (such as the vaguely atmospheric \"At Tension\") means H2O isn't quite as sharp and bracing as anything the duo had released since X-Static, and the fact that two of the best moments are huge hits -- the prowling \"Maneater\" and \"One on One,\" perhaps the most seductive song Daryl Hall ever wrote -- may suggest that this is closer to singles-plus-filler than it really is. The best of the rest of H2O reveals that Hall \u0026amp; Oates are at a near-peak in their creativity, writing tuneful, soulful fusions of pop, soul, and new wave. \"Crime Pays\" has an appealing robotic synth pop groove, \"Art of Heartbreak\" rides a tense guitar line to a great horn line on the chorus, the jealous anthem \"Open All Night\" slinks by on a stylized late-night groove, \"Go Solo\" hails back to Hall's arty Sacred Songs, and \"Delayed Reaction\" is a sterling piece of propulsive near-power pop. Even if they don't gel into an album as strong as Voices or Private Eyes, they're pretty terrific pop in their own right. They're not just evidence that Hall \u0026amp; Oates' popularity in the early '80s was earned and well deserved, they hold up very well decades after H2O ruled the charts.\" \u003cspan\u003eAllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4,33 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57643137565007,"sku":"RCA – RPL-8158","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-05-07a16.33.32.png?v=1778164548","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/fr\/products\/daryl-hall-and-john-oates-h2o-edition-japanese-promo-edition","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
