DAVID HASSELHOFF This Time Around (2012) CD

Some things exist outside the normal critical framework. The Hoff releasing a pop album in 2012 is one of them, and if you think that's a reason to look away, you've never understood the beautiful chaos of a record collection with no rules.

David Hasselhoff's This Time Around is exactly what it sounds like, and that's precisely the point. This is the man who sang at the Berlin Wall, who moved units in Germany that most legitimate artists couldn't dream of, and who has operated on a frequency entirely his own for four decades. Is it gothic? No. Is it metal? Absolutely not. Is it the most unhinged thing you could pull out of a crate at your next party? Without question. Every good collection needs a wildcard, and this is yours.

Full length album on jewel case CD. Pop/Easy Listening. Country of origin: USA. Original release 2012.
