| Adam Ant - Vive Le Rock Band: Adam Ant Tracks: - Vive le Rock - Miss Thing - Razor Keen - Rip Down - Scorpio Rising - Apollo 9 - Hell's Eight Acres - Mohair Locker Room Pin-Up Boys - No Zap - Poe - Apollo 9 [Acappella Reprise] Perfection I am not sure why this album wasnt talked about more. Adam looked FANTASTIC, sounded FANTASTIC the songs (ALL OF THEM) are really just too good. The song writing was very clever and it sounds like nothing else I've ever heard. Unfortunatly this album isnt easy to get anymore. Hardly anybody has it. I was on a waiting list for a long time to get it, but I finally did and it was WELL worth the wait. This definately tops My Favorite album list. Really, try and get it. A+ Adam! Good job! As always!! The Best Adam Ant Record This record blew me away when it first came out, and it's still one of my favorites. It was supposed to be Adam Ant's big rock record, and rock it does! (Some writers have described it as rockabilly, but I don't get that as the dominant feel.) The sound is huge (at least by Adam Ant standards), and almost every song is relentlessly catchy. True, Adam's vocal overacting, yodeling, and made-up gibberish words (see "Razor Keen") can be irritating at times, but the band's nonstop rocking attack simply plows over those shortcomings. I also sense an undercurrent of homoeroticism (check out "Scorpio Rising") that adds another intriguing dimension. Best of all, though, is Marco's guitar work; his playing and palette of tones are so astonishingly good on the entire record that it's difficult to pick standouts--although "Miss Thing," "Razor Keen," and "Hell's Eight Acres" are good places to start. Apparently considered a flop at the time of its release, Vive le Rock is simply a great, grossly underrated record. (Note: I have both the CD and the LP, and the CD sounds, well, compressed; the LP sounds much bigger.) Nice Recovery After the horrid "Strip" this was a welcome return to form. Noisy, loud, and Boisterous it is a great mid 80's release but still below his high points ("kings", "Prince Charming", and "Friend Or Foe") Buy Adam Ant Vive Le Rock at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.comJamster - the latest ringtones for your phone! |
