Gap Band, The - Round Trip

Review by Alex Henderson from allmusic.com

Long after its popularity had declined, the Gap Band was having an impact on
the Afro-American music scene. The end of the 1980s found the funksters
being sampled frequently by hip-hoppers, and it was hard to miss their
tremendous influence on the extremely popular new jack swing outfit Guy. the
Gap Band itself, however, had started to go downhill both commercially and
creatively in the mid-'80s. When the Wilson brothers signed with Capitol in
1989, optimists were hoping to see them return to the top, but sadly, much of
the old magic was gone. Round Trip isn't terrible, and tunes ranging from the
seductive "We Can Make It Alright" to the hard funk of "It's Our Duty" and the
single "Addicted to Your Love" are fairly decent. But play this high-tech
recording alongside 1979's Gap Band 2 or 1980's Gap Band 3, and it becomes
obvious that the Gapsters were long past their prime. While those classics
burned and exploded, Round Trip merely simmers.
