Indecisive guitars & possibly intentional rough vocals
Review written by John Fitzgerald, February 15th, 2005 It seems to me that the makers of this record were trying to add an edge to the Bangles frontwoman's solo affair here with more growly guitars and some rasp in her voice but I feel if they were going to do that then they should've gone the whole hog (as those that have seen/heard Hoffs with the Bangles in concert know that's a more shockingly garage orientated convention anyways) but they wanted to tread lightly instead and keep some of the softer studio Bangles sound here (for generic listeners that may be used to her being backed by such musical surroundings) so it probably ends up pleasing neither crowd. It's also hard to tell if Hoffs' vocals are meant to be as rough as they sound at times here or not (as I must admit though I enjoyed the Bangles in the 80's I kind of lost track of what she/they had done since their initial break up in 1989. It could just be that her voice has gained some rough edges with age). Whatever the case, here we go. Mick Fleetwood plays drums on "Falling", a good choice for Mick to do his familiar shuffle beats on as they fit perfectly here and as this is one of the album's mellower moments, it sounds of Hoffs' more Bangles era material. As for the rest, "Beekeeper's blues" is a hard strumming opening stomp, "All I want" is a building grumble which has some nice "aahs" in the middle section, "Enormous wings" is a punchy gruff rocker, "Darling one" is a haunting acoustic guitar/piano/accordion ballad with nice "ooh's" backing. "King of tragedy" is a bass lead breakneck bounce, "Eyes of a baby" is a mid tempo track which starts rather jangly but then those growling guitars build throughout the song. "Grand adventure" is an electric piano plinker reminding me somewhat of Sheryl Crow's "All I wanna do" (though of course this track is not as effective as the Crow tune), "Happy place" returns us yet again to the mid tempo jangle/grumble mix, "Those days are over" is a breathy building sweller and "Weak with love" is a swayer that may have worked better with mandolin strums but that's just what I feel. This CD then gives us two untitled tracks at the end of the album, a cover of Lulu's famous movie title track "To sir with love" (which with it's strumming swirl is more faithful than, say, Jann Arden's version from around the same time period as this album's release but Arden's one is preferable) and a cover of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the middle with you" (here, given a rough slider and dance bass arrangement. Nice try, but you're still best to stick with Stealers wheel's original). In the end, this is OK, hard-core Bangles fans will most likely still enjoy this album but it's a toss up for the rest of us.
