Negative Positive
Title: Chunderama
Review: Funny how a settled family life can be one of the worst influences on the music of a rock musician. After he celebrated the subsequent end of his spiritual journey with the upbeat, anthemic hymns of 1999's 'The Distance to Here', Ed Kowalczyk no longer seemed to have anything to offer to fuel the creativity behind Live's music. What remains - and is accentuated most on this effort - are a series of factory-assembled tracks manufactured specifically for the blooming adult-contemporary market. The other band members do their best to work with the material supplied, but nothing on this album has the substance or inspiration of the band's work in the 90s.
