Genre: Let’s be Foreigner!
2.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Tell It Like It Is
Bad Company is trying so hard on this record. They are listening to everything that’s out there and figure, “we can do that” and so we end up with Leppard-esque junk like “Fame and Fortune” amidst all the other wannabe-radio friendly power rock. They almost get there on songs like “Tel It Like it Is”, which would be better served by Rodgers and I almost like it. But, then you get to “When We Made Love”, and you wonder how anyone could write this garbage with a straight face. Idare you to learn how to play it on an instrument, sit your significant other down and sing it to him/her with a straight face.
Do it.
I dare you.
In fact, I am now BEGGING any musician with a retro show to learn this hot garbage and play it in front of humans.
I came late to Bad Company so I missed whatever made them “great” but, losing Paul Rodgers didn’t help on this callous programmer.
