CD Reviews

Back in Top Form!

K.J. Bakker | Malaysia | 12/02/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Chris Rea over the last few CD outings has been somewhat predictable, to such a degree that a long time listener knew what riff he would play next. This spoilt some wonderful songs. The same cannot be said on this effort. He's bought in a long overdue Producer to assist and the benefits are immediate, with a full and mature sound. I would compare this with On The Beach with a bigger beat. The two backing vocal ladies do a great job without overtaking Chris, they sound like they should have been there two or three CD's ago! If his last outings haven't hurt his listeners too much this one should put him right back up where he once was! Throughly enjoyable!"

Most Rea Fans Probably Won't Like This.

"I guess he got bored with the kind of music he'd been playing all his career. So here he takes a sharp turn towards techno, and if you're not already a fan of that style of music, I doubt if you'll find this very appealing. Having said that, I will admit that after 4-5 listens, a few songs did finally emerge from the muck and plant themselves in my brain. I'd initially planned on taking my copy down to the used record store and selling it, but on the strength of these few songs I decided to keep it after all. But if you're a fan of Chris Rea's music and you want more, I'd recommend any other album he has ever made over this one."

This CD takes its title literally

"I have been a Chris Rea fan since "Benny Santini" and own and love every CD since then. I anxiously awaited my copy of The Road to Hell II, and was terribley disappointed. In his effort to be different, I think Chris lost his way. I admire him for his effort, but hope that his next album will include more guitar, real drums, less repetition, and better lyrics."
