Negative Positive
Title: Beauty In Hard Surfaces
Review: Ardent Culture Culbbers nay be put off by the first listen of Cheapness And Beauty - more than half of the songs are hard driving rock numbers. Think Funtime and Satan's Butterfly Ball.Elsewhere, there are some beautiful ballads, Stuff that hardcore fans will dig. If I Could Fly is very Victims while Unfinished Business and Il Adore are both mellow country stuff. Same Thing In Reverse resembles a country song with a dance twist - like Karma Chameleon. Based on the above, I think it's high time that Boy cut a country album.The title track could be something off Sheryl Crow's Globe Sessions - light country rock.Phone conversations are used are interludes between songs - like what Janet Jackson did.While Cheapness and Beauty deviates from the blue eyed soul/reggae/dance formula of Sold and The Martyr Mantras, it's still a great CD and a definite grower.
