Pictures for Pleasure
Genre: Rock
3.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Beat’s So Lonely
Hold Me
This guy was 16 when he recorded this? I mean, I’d heard the name but never the music or the lore.
what the hell?
The Bryan Adams meets The Cars of “Beat’s So Lonely” is a track I completely forgot. His guitar prodigiousness arrives in the solo of “Hold Me’. It’s concise and devastating. But, he’s subdued. If he’s such a prodigy why layer him in synths and pouring electric drums?
He also sounds like someone trying to impersonate David Bowie impersonating Elvis Presley. And I mean that as a compliment.
Dammit, there’s so much to tear apart here but it’s a very good first attempt at AOR.
By the end, though, it loses it’s steam and become rather pedestrian. Good 3/4, though.
