soobiebearJust because the single has Tim McGraw on it, DOES NOT mean it is a country album! It's very wide ranging as they try to find their sound. Some of the experiments work, some don't. I get the feeling it won't be a well recieved album (ala Slang) due to it's varying nature, but Slang grew on me, as has Sparkle Lounge. I love their ballads tho, and sadly there are none on the final cut as of right now.
Fans are already rebelling against the name. Sorry. Might work great for a place name, doesn't work as an album name. Does anyone outside the immediate group even know what the Sparkle Lounge is? Prolly not, eh? If Joe comes out in a white Elvis costume I'm gone. Or anything velvet. Not that velvet's not good on him, but you're gonna have to steer really hard to get of of the 'mediocrity' heap with this one. Ash's work looks photoshopped, at best. Especially the group shots. Best going back to Bramhall Lane and figuring out what you really want to do now. I don't knock Viv and Jewels, not in the least, but you've been so lost since '91. And I ramble.
Nine Lives - Kinda almost Stones-ish country. Not countrycountry. Tim McGraw is managed by Robert Allen, you can make the connection yourself. It's certainly not typical Leppard.
Come Undone - Uptempo. Very Zeppelin-ish. A lot of Joe's influence. Steve would be happy.
Come On Come On - Retro. Hopping. Should have been on Yeah if someone else had written it, but would have sat nicely on Pyromania or Hysteria.
Cruise Control - A bit too political for my liking. Not the greatest cut.
Bad Actress - Uugh. Next.
So there you have it. Mind, it's just my opinion and I'll more than likely be slated for it if word gets back to camp. The passes are nice this time tho guys. Very... uhh, lounge-ish? Like Vegas in the late 70's? I like the string of lights. Better than the D-L passes back in the day.
