Synopsis

Album Description

Third album for Columbia & overall from poppy '90s Canadian alternative rock act. Slickly produced, many of the 14 cuts conjure up World Party doing a collaboration album with a mellowed out Red Hot Chili Peppers in the '70s while vocalist Gerald Eaton was imitating the singing mannerisms (but the voice) of U2's Bono. Some of the tunes have a slightly sassy horn section in the background more like Chicago (the band) in the '70s than Stevie Wonder's at that time. 1997 release.

CD Reviews

A great Canadian group

G. Sawaged | Canada | 12/14/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"How can anyone not love The Philosopher Kings? Their wonderful blend of rock/alternative/pop/soul/r&b and jazz is awe-inspiring. This album contains the hits 'It hurts to love you', 'I am the man', 'You stepped on my life', 'You don't love me (like you used to)' and the wonderful cover of Godley and Creme's 'Cry', which I think is even better than the original. Listen also to the jazzy sax ending to 'I am the man'. Perfect! In fact, as you listen to the whole album, listen to the background music not just the vocals. The arrangemants are truly brilliant."

Thoroughly pleased with my selection.

"If you like your music with a bit of edge, enjoy a bit of jazz with your rock, you'll love them. I bought the first cd with few expectations, I tracked the second down with great effort. It was well worth it."

This cd is awesome!!!
