    The songs here are superb, the arrangements and production nearly perfect, and Jackson's singing is the best of his career.
  3. PopMatters

    Despite the individual quality of almost every song and performance, there's simply not enough variation of style, rhythm or mood on Like Red on a Rose.

    I can't believe all the crap that ended up on the top thirty of 2006 list. It's not fair to include an album that only has 8 reviews. They should really raise that because it you only included the best 8 reviews of any number of great album from 2006, they would have had in the 90's. For 2007 we get Miranda Lambert's pretentious country crap for the top thirty albums of the year. The woeful trend continues.… Expand
