Title: from the bottom of beck's barrel
Review: this is one of the unholy trio or quartet of jeff's albums to be avoided at all costs. much of it sounds like space-music that jeff didn't consider worthy of the studio. while it is certainly a notch above "flash," it suffers from some of the same pitfalls as the embarrassingly juvenile "beck, bogart and appice," namely dumb songs, atrocious singing, and uninspired playing. only one or two songs are listenable, the rest are enmired in dullness. and wherever there's singing, as on "full moon boogie," whoa brother, one has to cringe. the same goes for that voice-box guitar effect: give that thing back to frampton! jeff even sounds uncharacteristically fumble-fingered, and if the magic ain't in the guitar, it ain't anywhere.
