Review title: Marred and mired---maybe next time
Product review: The combination of Eric Schenkman on guitars (Spin Doctors), Corky Laing on drums, and a dose of the late Noel Redding playing bass on a number of tracks seems promising on paper. But "Speed of Thought" is a very mixed bag despite the talent on board for this recording.Mostly loud and technically very good, the music sounds strained and forced at times, making it hard to stick with more than a track or two. And after a couple of listens, one tends to note the better tracks----Bone Daddy and Get the Picture, for instance----and forgoes most of the others. Still. Mr. Schenkman and Mr. Laing can both play and sing with abandon.The lyrics sometimes seem too much of the same thing and tend to celebrate or denigrate the excesses of rock-star life, and providing little for the ordinary listener to celebrate. Perhaps a follow-up recording will prove more accessible and more convincing. Still, if you can pick up a copy for $2, you might want to hear for yourself.
