Title: Not too impressed...
Review: I've always been a Clapton fan, but Reptile left me disappointed and empty. It's kind of blah. There was almost nothing on this entire cd that caught my attention. It sounded like not too much effort went into this recording, which is uncharateristic since Eric is known for pouring his heart into his music. The background vocals reminded me of Elvis Presley's back up singers from the 50's and seemed out of place on most tracks. I also thought the blues, Clapton's strongest attribute, came across weak and hollow. I did like Superman Inside and Son & Sylvia, though. Tried and true Clapton fans will enjoy Reptile. Even if not so much for the music, at least because it is Slowhand himself. I'd rather hear something from his past. I would give this one star muscially, but because it's Eric Clapton, I gave it an extra star. PS: Clapton is still a living legend and one of the top contributors to rock history.
