4.0 out of 5 stars
Come on. It's not that bad.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flash (Audio CD)
Nobody argues that this was one of the worst PRODUCED and CONCEIVED Jeff Beck albums ever, including Jeff himself. But let's not overlook the fact that it contains two SUPREME tracks, the immortal "People Get Ready", and the vastly overlooked instrumental gem, "You Know, We Know". I also find the Jan Hammer track "Escape", which won a Grammy by the way, to be a very cool 1980s flashback. Overlook some of the horrendous vocals, and listen to the guitar solos---true Jeff Beck fans know it's all here, just sift through the garbage to get to it.

Saving Grace,
This review is from: Flash (Audio CD)
In general, I agree with most of the above comments, but as a long-time music lover, I have to rate this album as a must-have for one reason : People Get Ready. Beck nails the track, and it's probably one of Rod Stewart's best vocal performances. The combination of raspy vocals and Beck's thoughtful, haunting guitar work redeems an otherwise synthetic mish-mash of tracks. Like was stated before, you can sift through and hear the trademark Beck . I can't help but visualize most of this album as a soundtrack for a mediocre made-for-tv 80s movie. Too bad.

Excellent Beck Album,
By
This review is from: Flash (Audio CD)
Flash is one of guitar idol Jeff Beck's best selling album, a lot of this buoyed by the great remake of The Impressions' classic "People Get Ready," with vocals by Beck's old bandmate Rod Stewart (truly delivering one of his best performances).
But the rest of this record is solid and entertaining, including "Ambitious," (featuring a particularly nasty Beck solo), "Gets Us All In The End," and the Grammy-award winning instrumental "Escape." If people buy this expecting to rock out, forget it. But if they want to hear some great guitar solos mixed in with some great vocals, you'll enjoy Flash.
