Humble Pie - Go For the Throat
#704
1981 Housekeeping
Humble Pie
Go For the Throat
Genre: Blues Rock
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Keep It On the Island
Restless Blood
Requisite 80s cover: an overblown jam version of Presley’s “All Shook Up”. Which, of course, spelling doom for the record, opens the album.
Imagine this is your first introduction to Humble Pie and you have to hear this muddy thing.
Well, folks, that’s me. I’ve never heard a Humble Pie record. So this is my first.
I can sort of hear what the fuss was a decade before. If this album was more focused and the songs were more interesting I bet I would like it. I mean, it’s not bad, but I definitely didn’t miss anything when it was released.
Honestly, this album isn’t as bad as some of the reviews would have one believe. It’s just a relic. A muddy relic.
