Free Music Notes for Difficult to CureFree Music Review: Mixed feelings Hit: 3 Stars
I loved this as a young lad - I thought it was great pop Rock but now I have mixed feelings about this album - some really good poppy tunes like "I surrender" and "Magic" and "Can't happen here" but I am also conscious looking back that it was the beginning of the end leading as it did to the dreadful "straight between the eyes". Some fine guitar playing though but I do think Joe Lynn Turner was a mistake.
Free Music Review: "Difficult" to Listen To Hit: 1 Stars
I consider myself a Rainbow fan, but this album was just horrible. Rainbow really peaked with "Long Live Rock and Roll", but with this release, Blackmore abandoned all rock and roll and went for the pop jugular. It was like listening to Survivor. The lyrics were uninspired and the songs were paint-by-number. Especially annoying were the keyboard playing by Don Airey (God I miss Tony Carey). I was wondering why "Spotlight Kid" sounded so familiar, then I realized it was "Kill the King" warmed over. I literally threw this cd out of my car window during the second listening of "Magic". Ughh. The trouble with Rainbow is that Blackmore changed the line-up constantly so that the band never really aged together, like Zepplin or U2. The reviewers who loved this album were brought up on pop tunes, not rock and roll. Sorry, but this album ain't rock and roll.
Free Music Review: ...no cure in sight... Hit: 1 Stars
ritchie helped to rock and bluesify deep purple...he turned fantasy into fact with rainbow...the dio years...
then bonnett came to own...not bad, just different...
then ritchie turned on the radio one day and said...'hey...i wanna be like all the other garbage their playing now...'
and so begat rainbow, the joe turner years...
this album is not a rainbow album...this is a 'jefferson starship/asia/genesis' hybrid of leftovers trying to be the soup of the day...
'down to earth' was where the rainbow faded...this was where the rainbow died...
Free Music Review: DIFFICULT TO LISTEN Hit: 1 Stars
Unfortunately, I guess Blackmore (who always was famous as being a kind of "ego" man) let singer Lynn TUrner take a great part of the helm of this production... The result: love lyrics all the way along the album: "I SURRENDER", "MAGIC" (the worst song ever recorded by Rainbow - it seems like Kansas or Journey), "CAN'T HAPPEN HERE" - all horrible. THe only good point is the instrumental song at the end.
Free Music Review: At least i'm not the only one with a bad review... Hit: 1 Stars
this is total crap as was "Down To Earth".
If you want a big surprise, listen to the rocking next album called "Straight Between The Eyes".
It had nothing to do with Joe Lynn Turner or Graham Bonnett.
This LP and down to earth just hella sucked and that is that and that will evermore be.
GET "Straight Between the Eyes"...pretty much the final hurrah for Blackmore.
Cheers
