A gimmicky guitar riff drives album opener “Closer,” and it’s far from enough to get the listener through its dragging four minutes of heartbreak, which feature lyrics like, “You shimmy-shook my boat / Leaving me stranded all in love on my own.” Further signs of overproduction and underwhelming originality can also be heard on “17,” where church bells provide the intro and outro...

And with megapopularity comes the rub for another cycle of suddenly-rich-and-famous rock performers: What is a boy to do when his splenetic-loser shtik wins him magazine covers and huge record contracts? How to deal with the heartbreak of success? By growing up. It happens. According to John Lennon's friend and producer Phil Spector, the edgy Beatle regularly joked about losing his edge.
