Free Music Review: Don't expect the Great White of old, but do expect a new and improved Great White
Hit: 5 Stars
The Good
Guitarist Mark Kendell supplies some killer blues licks on the intro to "Situation." He continues in the blues vein with the rhythmic chord progression. Vocalist Jack Russell sounds smoother and more melodic in his delivery these days. "Last Chance" is a soulful ballad where vocalist Russell wears his heart on his sleeve. "Shine" kicks up the pace with dominant guitars. Great White break out the acoustics for "Only You Can Do." Russell's voice has never sounded better.
"Loveless" is the perfect mix of 80s AOR and singer-songwriter material. Great White have never shied away from a good cover tune. In fact, that's how they broke into the mainstream. This time around they delivery a more melodic, less guitar laden version of the Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together." "Is It Enough" is another track in the singer-songwriter style in which Russell is adapting quite well to.
The Bad
Their connection to tragedy probably won't help them sell records.
The Verdict
Don't expect the Great White of old, but do expect a new and improved Great White. The band still knows how to get their blusey rock groove on, but they have adapted to a more melodic, singer-song writer sound that shows great maturity. Some people will say they sold out for the safety of a more universally adult contemporary sound, but I say Great White has never sounded better than they do on Rising. Russell and company have flawlessly made the transition that Def Leppard never could.
