Negative Positive
Title: Absolute Trash (disappointed to say the least!)
Review: Even Trower's somewhat uneven records (Back It Up comes to mind) were far better than much of the musical output of a thousand other bands. This release, however, truly demonstrates he is A. Stuck in a time warp or B. Totally bereft of new musical ideas. The vocals are horrible - why Trower feels he can (or should) contribute vocals is a mystery. The singing chores should have been left to Livingston Brown, who has the type of voice Trower's music needs and deserves. I've seen Robin play live twice with Livingston Brown, and not having Brown's lead vocals as well as better developed/more forward thinking musical material dooms this new release (in my humble opinion). To say that much more was expected is an understatement!
