Guys, we found it.
It was elusive and I wasn’t sure it was out there but…dammit….we found it.
A big 80s rock band from Canada whose album sounds…
Muddy. Muddled. Uninspired. Everybody is buried in the mixes and unable to break out so, sonically, it’s spinach to my ears. Too bad. It’s right in the Kick Axe wheelhouse.
Everything about this record sounds like a band that was put together to sound like Quiet/Kiss/Leppard?Jovi but ready made as pinups for teenage girls’ bedrooms.
And generic. Shiny and echoey and without personality.
Too bad. But, it’s dopey enough (“We Came to Rock”, “Jack is Back”) that I can’t hate it entirely.
