Worth it for Listen to what the man said if not more
Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 27th, 2005 Here's another album that has just one track that Dave Mason plays on but it's a good one, he plays guitar on the number one (US) hit "Listen to what the man said". This track still stands up today as one of McCartney's best songs I think and though Mason's guitar is not particularly distinctive, you can hear "a" rhythm guitar on the off beats which might be him and this irresistible happy sing a long makes this album worth it alone. As for the rest, the CD edition has three bonus tracks, "Zoo gang" is an almost driving instrumental but it's mostly forgettable featuring accordion breaths, "Lunch box/Odd sox" is a mainly piano featured instrumental but it can't decide if it wants to be a reggae or a straightforward driver (maybe this explains the mixed together titles?) and "My carnival" tries to be uplifting party cheer but it just doesn't work and one can see why this one was left out in the cold originally the most out of all three CD only bonus tracks. As for the rest of the album itself, the opening title track is an effective childlike acoustic doodle which then goes right in to the bursting but controlled rocker "Rock show". We later revisit the title track in "Venus and Mars (Reprise)" which has more echoy vocals and is probably more complete as a song but the above mentioned track is the better one out of the two versions I'd say. "Love in song" is an acoustic but mid tempo jangler in which I can hear a little influence rubbing off from this on to 10CC's "I'm Mandy fly me" possibly. "You gave me the answer" is strings & piano whimsical pop which will remind many of songs from Paul's Beatles days such as "When Im 64". The electric piano bouncer "Magneto and titanium man" has a slight boogie feel and "Letting go" has shuffling rhythms but quietly suspenseful electric guitar parts. "Spirits of ancient Egypt" is another light electric skipping boogie, "Medicine jar" is an up tempo shouting rocker and "Call me back again" is a stroll on which the piano interestingly keeps the rhythms going. "Treat her gently (Lonely old people)" comes in right after "Listen to what the man said" (probably the reason as to why many compilations etc. have LTWTMS faded out and they also usually cut off the low grumbling "good to see you down in New Orleans man" voice at the beginning of the track so the song starts in a more commercial way) and THG(LOP) is a piano featured catchy slow dragger. The (regular album) closing "Crossroads theme", believe it or not, is in fact the theme to the popular British TV show. Though it's a nice siren guitar mid tempo instrumental, it only lasts about 59 seconds. All in all, "Venus and Mars" is worth it for the hard to dislike number one smash listed above but other interesting tidbits will arise that color in the blander moments.
