Free Music Review: Tonic at their best!!
Hit: 5 Stars
It is tough to believe this album has already been out four years, and tonic are still touring for it in 2006. This album is still as sharp and clean as the day it came out. Heavy and Melodic, all that you would expect from tonic. The only readily released radio song in my area was Take Me As I Am, and it is a good song, but only a small glimpse of what is burried on this disc. Starting at track one, Roses sets a loud fast pace for the rest of the album, with spells to rest like the tracks "count on me" and "on your feet again". My personal favorite is "Irish" with a close runner up of "Liar", both heavier songs, but irish has a Jig Cut that you can dance to. Other highlights are Head on Strait and Do You Know.
Overall, all the songs are very good, no real one that I drag through, an a fine investment, even for a new collector of tonic. I can't say any of their albums would dissapoint.
Head on Straight Poster
Los Angeles pop-rock trio Tonic's choice of Bob Rock as producer of their third disc is an odd one. Rock is a meat-and-potatoes studio man known for dialing up the thud quotient (see Metallica, the Cult, and especially, Veruca Salt), while Tonic is noted for its sweeping power ballads. With the release of Head On Straight, they still are. Certainly, there are some jagged moments: "Liar" absolutely pounds and opener "Roses" growls, lyrically and musically. But there's unabashed emotion in tracks like "On Your Feet," "Ring," "Count on Me," the title track, and the gently rocking "Let Me Go." And then there's "Irish," a rousing, historic jig where guitars mimic bagpipes, Big Country-style, and singer Emerson Hart manages a credible Irish lilt. Perhaps Rock's Maui base proved irresistible, but really, this is more of the same stuff Tonic gave us with Lemon Parade and Sugar--sturdy, wide-eyed power-pop with lyrics reaching for something grander than "ooh baby baby." Let's hope Tonic feels they got their money's worth. --Kim HughesAlternative Rock Music CDs
