Free Music Notes for No Fun Aloud
Free Music Review: A bit too polished, but it still has its moments
Hit: 3 Stars
I definitely recall loving No Fun Aloud back in high school (late 80s - it was already a bit dated then), but even then it sounded a bit slick and commercial to me. Then again, slick and commercial are not always bad things.
It's a bit surprising to me that an ex-Eagle would kick off his first solo album with a happy love song followed immediately by a sad one, but it works. "I Found Somebody" and especially "The One You Love" reflect Frey's Detroit blue-eyed soul roots, and they've both aged well. While less famous, "I Volunteer" and "She Can't Let Go" are, in my opinion, better still. For a guy who became famous in a band known for its chauvinistic swagger, it turns out Frey had a knack for sensitive troubled-relationship songs.
"Partytown" hasn't aged so well. I loved that one when I was younger for the sheer joy of hearing a song with a vulgar word somehow get on the radio, but now it just sounds like a guy trying much too hard to sound loose. "I've Been Born Again" is a much more convincing upbeat number, though ironically it's about cutting down on partying. "Sea Cruise" is also a lot of fun, if not much different from the numerous other versions of that song you've probably heard. "All Those Lies" is about as menacing as Frey ever got in his solo career, even if most of the menace is aimed at himself.
It's not quite what we might have expected for his first solo outing, but it's not bad either.
