REVIEW: LATE ARRIVAL - KICK THINGS OVER

 


LATE ARRIVAL - KICK THINGS OVER (Dunham Recs. 1997)


Produced by Jeff and Tom Dunham and Mark Nalore

Recorded at Front Page Studios

Graphic Design by Marc Don Vito


Tracks: 1- Kick Things Over, 2- Safe Passage, 3- Torments, 4- Long Run, 5-Sunny Day, 6- Monkey See, 7- Waiting, 8- On the Highway, 9- Santa Fe, 10- Sticky, 11- Rolling Stone, 12- You are Sorry


This is pure rock´n ´roll in its purest form. Full of hooks in the vein of maybe AC/DC (in fact the second track called "Safe Passage" can bring to your mind pieces of "For those About To rock (We Salute You))". But for me there is one problem...this guys need more strength in their sound. And that is fundamental. If they mix the guitars louder maybe they can achieve that. This kind of music is meant to be played louder. Maybe an example of this would be the song "Long Run" that is one of the more powerful of the CD but can be enhanced a lot. I would like to listen something new from this guys to see how they have evolved. Favorite tracks: "Torments", "Monkey See" and "On the Highway".
