Free Music Review: Different Shades of White
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a production by one of the "heavy metal hard rock" bands which cannot strictly be classified as pure heavy metal. It is because there are many tracks here that do not exacty fit the description of heavy metal rock. Althought they are basically rock songs, they cross over into other forms of music which blend in with the rock 'n' roll sound to produce a flavor that is unique. This mixture also may have something to do with producing a hit, as three of the songs on this album were released as hit singles on the radio. All three of these songs are among those that have a sound that is not purely "heavy metal or hard rock".
The first of these is "The Angel Song", a sad ballad about a girl who was disappointed in love and the lost dream of achieving stardom. This piece is distinct with an acoustic piano in the background, playing a harmony which borders on classical music. Another song that wanders away from heavy metal is "House Of Broken Love", with a blues tone. This blue flavor fits in nicely with the melancholy lyrics that describe a marriage falling apart, with the wife leaving the house one day, disappointing the husband who was left behind. The last of the great hits is "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". In the background is an acoustic piano, playing in a honky tonk fashion among a bouncy rhythm In this song about the life of a musician, the chorus is sung in harmony, where the lead singer is joined by others in a party-like manner.
Among the six "non hits", one of these strays away from hard rock: this is "She Only", a sad ballad heavily laced with folk guitar and clear, gentle vocals. This folk/bluesy song is about a girl who is still waiting for love. It would have been interesting to see if this track would have traveled high on the pop music chart if it had ben released as a single.
The remaining five tracks on this album more or less fit the definition of heavy metal or hard rock 'n' roll. "Heart the Hunter" comes closest to downright heavy metal, and the passionate "Baby's On Fire" is a fast-paced, high-energy selection that could be called heavy metal rock 'n' roll. The first track on this album, "Move It" is another composition that could be called heavy metal, with the burning guitar accompaniment. "Hiway Nights", (title spelled like this), is a passionate love song, in which the highway is presented in a metaphorical way. Finally, there is "Mista Bone", a love song that would make a great choice for dance parties, with its bouncy, stomping rhythm.
It has been many years since this album was released, but the music still sounds fresh and undated as when it was new. The crossing over into other styles of music beyond heavy metal probably contributed to its wide appeal for the audience and popularity on the airwaves. This disc should remain in the collection of fans to this very day for listening enjoyment.
