Free Music Notes for Fractured Mindz
Free Music Review: A triumphant return, but......
Hit: 3 Stars
If you consider "BUG" his masterpiece (I do) this could be considered a huge letdown. But, if you look at this as the first comprehensive realese from a rock legend who has recovered from near death to resume making music again, it is a triumphant return. I admit to being exciting when I had previously heard "God in my Brain" which preceded this release by a year or so. That said, nothing on Fractured Mindz reaches those heights.
There are some good moments and other that just seem forced and underdeveloped. "Come to the River" has a real cool riff that builds the song up nicely. Many just sound unfinished, bizarre or just plain mediocre. They almost revert my mind back to the thought that Dave always contributed high caliber songs to Kinks records when he only contributed one or two. Possibly this is just too much for a writer who at times has appeared to have prolific limitations? But then I return to early masterpieces like the underappreciated "Chosen People" and the more recent "BUG" and it makes clear what the man is capable of producing.
Maybe this release is just baby steps to Dave re-establishing himself and finding his groove again. There are a lot of ideas being thrown out here and the creative juices seem to be flowing, but I just don't hear high quality songs. But, I do still hear the potential for some great things to come from one of rock n rolls greatest treasures and arguably the true inventor of power chord hard rock.
PS: Consider re-visting "Choseen People" which deserved and still does much more widespread appreciation. And, of course "BUG" which may be the greatest retro rock classic produced in this decade.

In any other band, Dave Davies would have been the star. But sharing the Kinks' stage--and a last name--with older brother Ray often exiled Dave to the background. Still, not even a near-fatal stroke in 2004 has kept him from dominating his sibling when it comes to solo records, Dave's latest a generally lo-fi list of the power anthems and folk-and-blues-rock that made his old band run like clockwork. On this, his first album in five years, the ever-witty and outspoken Davies has plenty to say, spewing anger against Bush and Blair in the rocking "Free Me." "What kind of man can take us to war with blood and murder for oil?" he demands over a grinding guitar circa Lola vs. Powerman. Kinks fans will likely find additional kinship with the pleasant pop of "Remember Who You Are" and "The Waiting Hours," as well as "Come to the River," which rides a monster blues riff that only Davies can brandish. The record even navigates into the experimental, including a spacey instrumental ("The Blessing") and the trippy spoken-word title song, new territory for a 60-year-old legend that clearly now rides anywhere but the backseat. --Scott Holter
