Overall I am not impressed.
The song that impressed me the most was not even Dave's. It was "Night Life", and I recall seeing the video last year, and digging the vid. Very well done.
However, there is nothing about this album that truly rocks. The fucking producer made it sound like one of the laboratory sterile Gnashville cuntry albums I hear once in awhile. Where everything is so clean and so absolutely perfect that it bores the shit out of anyone who even gets close to it.
If you move to Gnashville and become a studio hack, you wind up losing any soul you had to begin with. That's what the album sounds like. No life at all. Compare it to the mighty Van Halen, or even EEAS or Skyscraper, and it is severely lacking in any kind of excitement or true Big Rock energy.
I will always commend Uncle Dave for following his own muse, a musical identity that is a neat combination of Al Jolson, Muddy Waters and Unpredictable Radioactive Mayhem, so I cannot say the album is bad.
I just personally find it lacking any kind of the sort of energy and/or excitement I want to hear on an Uncle Dave album.
Took me so long to listen to it, as his early 90s period never appealed to me really. "A Little Ain't Enough" was more rocking than this is, but it still was not even close to what I expected when it came out.
I found this CD at a used CD store today for 98 cents. And, it is a promotional copy, with the usual gold stamp on it that says "Not for sale. Promotional Copy. Must be returned to the Record Company on demand".
Well, the record company is not worthy to lick my fucking asshole, so I am keeping the motherfucker, and the record company can go to hell!
For the price, I had to get it. It is Uncle Dave after all, and being a promo copy, it might be considered almost collectible, and if I sold it on eBay, I might be able to make 23 cents on the deal.
