| Bar 7 - The World Is a Freak Band: Bar 7 Tracks: - Freaked - 4 Leaf Clover - Got a New Life - No Show - Love Is Such - Cellophane - Ladybug - She Don't - All Natural - American Dream Yes, it sounds like Tesla, and that is good... For all of us waiting for the Tesla Live "RePlugged" CD next month, this is a pretty nice stopgap. But honestly, Jeff Keith and Tommy Skeoch do NOT have a "new sound." (Let's not kid ourselves.) Is it Tesla? Well, no. but is it veeeeery close? Yes. Jeff was in on all the songwriting, and Tommy was in on most of it. This is a reasonably Strong album from a Band that will be largely forgotten in ten years. I finally got it yesterday at the local used CD store [...], and I wish I'd picked it up earlier, because it would have given me the "new Tesla songs" fix I've been missing since "Steppin' Over." Short review? If you're a big-time Tesla fan, you'll dig "The World Is A Freak." Nice interlude to TESLA'S return First of all, if I ever get around to reviewing all of Tesla's albums in this format, I will give them all 5 stars. Tesla is one of the greatest and most underrated hard rock bands of all time! I can't Call this quite as good as a Tesla album, but it is close enough to give the 5 stars. Jeff Keith's voice hasn't lost a thing! The modern edge to much of this album just makes it an even more interesting listen. "Freaked" gets the album off to a rocking start, and throughout the album there are a combination of rockers and "heartfelt" anthems or in a couple of cases ballads. Definitely a worthwhile purchase. Now, of course, Tesla is back together for real. Can't wait to buy their forthcoming Live album. In the meantime, Bar 7 is one of the highest quality "side projects" I have ever heard. Tesla Jr. I was so Glad to hear that Jeff and Tommy were putting out this album. As a long time Tesla-fanatic this was a welcome addition to the new millinium of rockers. Bar 7 is not Tesla, but they are damn close. Obviously the voice is the same, but the music is not as complex and is more down to Earth rock. The only problem with the album is there are a few too many ballads, but compared to other bands out there Bar 7 is great. If you liked Tesla at all you will like this. Too bad it only has 10 songs, hopefully they will put out another. The best songs on the album are: 2. 4 Leaf Clover, 3. Got A New Life, 8. She Don't, 10.
