Lost/Forgotten Album #51

[Jon]

 

 

 

As expected, someone swooped in and posted the new Black Country Communion album in the latest NMC so what I posted as last week's Lost/Forgotten album now seems like a stroke of pre-planned genius or it's just great teamwork. 

 

"Teamwork". That word kind of bugs me. See, I'm a loner. A rebel. So when it the word "teamwork" is brought up at work, I throw up a little in my mouth since I like to work solo. Sad thing is, I hafta lie during any job interviews and tell them that I can work both in a team and by myself. I don't think I can really tell them that I prefer to work alone 'cause I'm better than those around me. 

 

But don't get me wrong. Everyone here is the bees knees. I would go to war with these guys (pushing Rjhog to the front because, well, I just can.). This here is a team effort. This here is all a result of (shudder) "teamwork".

 

And I just threw up again.

 

My, my, my...aren't I being just a tad pompous?

 

This week's album is from 2004, a solo effort from Glenn Hughes. As most of you can tell by the title (hint Rjhog!), the album revolves around a certain type of music.

 

Listening to it, I wouldn't be surprised if you hear a little bit of Prince and, believe it or not, Sade. That's right...Sade! 

 

But there's plenty of geetar and there's also WHOCKA WHOCKA GEETAR! Yes! Not a lot, just a smidge, but a smidge of whocka whocka geetar is just like winning the lottery. How, I don't know. But it is.

 

Just curious..would you rather have a nuclear kitchen or nuclear furniture?

DUH! If it's a band called Love/Hate, I have NEVER heard of them!!!

Man, I wish that I JUST FOR ONCE, could choose MSoTW, so you two guys could see how "easy" this is!!!!!!!!  

[Jon]

Tell you what..for the MSoTW in two week, tell me what you want and I'll put it up. Then we can all guess!

[Niels (Mod)]

Chicken!!! I've got one for everyone, except MSoTW Man, AND one ESPECIALLY for MSoTW Man, but if you are a chicken....

[Jon]

why not send it to me in mp3 format?

[Niels (Mod)]

Oh!

Man, this should definitely by in the Soul/Rock genre.  Tons of soul influences here.  I liked the first track, but then it just didn't work too much after that for me.  I did think We Shall Be Free was pretty good, but then it just meandered along until Oil And Water and Too Late To Save The World, both of which are really good songs. 

 

I dunno, it's just not for me I guess.  I really like his voice, but so far these last two LAOTW posts just don't move me.

 

Jizzy Pearl called and said to send his song back...

The start of "Crave" sounds very much like STP. I like that track. The second track, sounds a bit like Extreme. He's got a good voice on this album. "Satellite" sounds like Stevie Wonder. I think his voice suits this kind of music. More than it suits BCC. I can also hear some RHCP in "We shall be free". I don't like "Imperfection". I agree with RJhog, that it got a little booring until "Oil And Water", that reminds me of Soundgarden. "To save the world" is not bad either. As a whole, it's not a bad album, not bad at all.

It's funny, I thought the second track (title track) sounded like Stevie Wonder, I just forgot to say it.
