Before
you can even digest or vomit back up Run With The Pack (or "Run With
The Night", as lameass North Carolina DJ "Cosmo" so eloquently called it
that time I heard him play "Young Blood" - right before he declared it
to be a "great song" off of a "great album." Lameass.), the "talentless
boys of rock 'n' roll" are back to shove more poorly-written dreck down
your listening ear.
I'll give 'em this though: even though all these
melodies sound like they were written in about two minutes, most of them
are amazingly catchy. The title track, "Morning Sun," "Too Bad,"
"Everything I Need," "Peace Of Mind" - all disgustingly simple, but not
self-parodic like on the last album. It sounds, rather, like a
postmodern lo-fi college band imitating Bad Company. It's not bombastic
(except for a couple of really crappy numbers); it's just a bunch of
poorly-arranged songs. I like 'em! It's actually a pretty good record,
though definitely not worthy of classic rock radio play. If you see it
in a dollar bin, get it. It's at least an interesting,
semi-unpredictable record. A cover of "Valerie, Valerah?" A seven-minute
groove jam? Wow. Bad Company stretches out and tries something new. Who
knows how far this'll go? Embarrassing. And the cover of "Young Blood"
is unlistenable.
