Free Music Notes for Fast Man Raider Man
Free Music Review: when did our corpulent hero forget how to write a decent hook?
Hit: 2 Stars
It's no wonder he looks like he's hiding on the cover. I've stuck w/ Frank throughout his entire post-Pixies career, suffering the occasional growing pains and relishing in his melodic flashes of brilliance. But I'm afraid I'm finally walking the plank off the good ship Francis. It's not even the genre that's turning me off--I have no problem w/ Americana. What's bugging me is the utter lack of anything original here, and if it's one thing we could always rely on Frank for, it was originality. This is just two discs of complete tedium, where our cherubic butterball does nothing but go through the motions, supported by an absurd number of studio session legends. I should have noticed the storm clouds on the horizon w/ the release of Honeycomb, but what redeemed that record is that if I were to concentrate right now I could probably hum 3 or 4 of the songs; w/ Fast Man, no matter how hard I try, recalling any melodies is a near fruitless endeavor. C'mon lunchbox, reunite the Catholics and get back to rocking--puhleeze.
Fast Man Raider Man Poster
Recorded in the same casual manner as 2005's Honeycomb, in various hit-and-run sessions with superstar session musicians during gaps in the Pixies' unending reunion tour, Fast Man Raider Man abides by the this-will-do aesthetic that has been a hallmark of Frank Black's solo career. With songs seemingly made up on the spot, the singer delivers a thoroughly mellow 27-track double album that is largely free of the inscrutability and insanity of his most famous work. Instead, it is homey pedal steel guitars, sleepy saxophone solos, rootsy barroom rockers like "Down To You," a heart-on-sleeve R&B ballad or two such as "Sad Old World," and a wobbly cover of Ewan MacColl's "Dirty Old Town." His strangest offering yet? --Aidin VaziriAlternative Rock Music CDs
