CD Reviews

Handclaps a-plenty

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'd never heard of Hello until I was reading an article about Ace Frehley where it mentioned that "New York Groove" was a Hello song. So I took a chance and picked this collection up, and I'm glad I did!

This is sort of a cross between 10cc and Sweet. One thing that sort of amuses me is how many of these songs prominently feature handclaps in the production. But basically these guys had a good groove and tight arrangements of pop-rock confections. Nothing too flashy in the guitar or vocal chops, but the band as a whole demonstrate solid musicianship.

There are loads of really catchy tunes on here, but "New York Groove" is certainly the one most people know, even if they aren't aware that Ace Frehley didn't write it (actually, neither did Hello - quite a few of these songs were written for the band by professional songwriters). It's amazing how little Ace changed it - he even kept most of the guitar licks, and it's in the same key and tempo, although Ace did belt out the vocal with a bit more gusto.

They call this "glam rock" but it's just rock 'n' roll. Some campy, syrupy moments, but overall a great 70's rock album."
