Vanila Fudge
Mystery
1.25 out of 5
The mystery here is…why does Vanilla Fudge sound like a shitty Bon Jovi cover band? 15 years after their last record, and I assume looking at Moody Blues’s success, Fudge enlists…checks notes…Jeff Beck for this…wait, what? That’s Jeff Beck? Can we just rename this band Jeff Blech? Jeff’s off doing his thing in the studio, so it’s not all on him. He’s just there for the crapfest of a ride.
Terrible. Infantile. Useless. This album doesn’t sound like a band influenced by a host of artists that have come in their wake as much as it sounds like a bunch of bored guys who are stealing the sound of those artists. From Foreigner to Glam Metal bands. They manage to mangle covers ranging from their atrocious “Walk on By” to “My World is Empty”. These guys should never have put this out. Some legacies need to remain just that.
