5.0 out of 5 stars JUST A GLIMPSE OF THE FACE OF GOD, January 13, 2000

This review is from: Born Again Savage (Audio CD)

The title of this track says it all! "Face of God" (the fourth song on this CD) has Platinum written all over it. My husband and I cant get the lyrics out of our head. This album has a mix of Petty/Hendrix old rock throughout.Songs like "Salvation" and "Camouflage of Righteousness" are great songs as well. Kind'a bonus tracks considering "Face of God" is worth the purchase itself. Buy this CD before you hear it on the grammys. I'm sure you'll hear tracks on the Sopranos as well. Love this album!

3.0 out of 5 stars Load Guitars, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Born Again Savage (Audio CD)

For long time followers of Little Steven you won't be surprised that this album has very load guitars. It is recorded in the power trio format - bass, drums and guitar. The band is a top notch band consisting of Little Steve, Jason Bonham and Adam Clayton of U2 on bass.

What is surprising, if not a bit disappointing, is that in the past, Little Steve, even when rocking hard, always had a soulful bent to the music. He is one of the great contemporary R&B/Soul writers and arrangers we have. This album does not showcase those abilities. The music is hard and jarring at times. With no keyboards or even background vocals to soften the edges, this album forces you to listen to the words and the riffs - of which there are plenty.

Overall, not as musically varied as he is capable of. Compared to his other efforts, this doesn't quite measure up. However, let it be said that if he were a young buck putting this album out early in a career without his past musical reference points, this would find it's way onto hard rock play lists of stations everywhere and we would be excited about this new young talent. The album rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars POWERED, December 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Born Again Savage (Audio CD)

Steven has outdone himself on his first solo album in ten years. His guitar work is hard driving and powered by Jason Bonham's drums. The horns aren't there, but between the rocking music and and wrenching lyrics, they aren't missed. This is a must have for Little Steven and pure rock fans.
