4.0 out of 5 stars A nice mix of Jack's music, March 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Blades, Jack (Audio CD)

I would have to disagree with the previous writer. This new solo album from Night Ranger bassist/singer Jack Blades is a strong synthesis of his popular bands plus a few new twists. As with most of the Night Ranger, the songs are very melodic, but the choruses might not sink in the first time. I gave the album 3-4 plays, and I liked it better each time. There's no question that Jack has taken many of the songs from various other projects that haven't come to fruition, but then there's the attraction of a solo album. It's all Jack, and the combination of players is whatever fits each tune. In addition, Blades takes liberties to include some new songwriting twists (for him) is some of the music. I hear a little LedZep and some more rhythmic modern rock influences. Those who liked Damn Yankees and/or Night Ranger's "Seven" album will enjoy this . . . given a few listens. (The Japanese bonus track is well worth having.)

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, February 28, 2004

This review is from: Blades, Jack (Audio CD)

I really wanted to like this CD. I admire Jack for his work in Night Ranger, Damn yankees, and especially Shaw/Blades, but this CD is mostly filler, with songs that would have sounded better for Journey, Damn Yankees or Night Ranger to release for the respective bands. As a solo artist, Jack just doesn't cut it--the best parts of the Cd are the guest work of Neil Schon and Tommy Shaw. Otherwise, very weak. Save your money--or buy the wonderful Shaw/Blades 1995 release "Hallucination" instead.
