Free Music Notes for Slip of the Tongue
Free Music Review: Inferiority Complex
Hit: 3 Stars
This album could have been considered one of "hair metal"'s finest performances. Slick production, great band, better than average songs, and guitar golden child Steve Vai. And it did quite well, generating a couple of hit singles and going multi-platinum.
And therein lies the rub. This album was Whitesnake's follow-up to the immensely successful "1987". As such, there is no way "Slip of the Tounge" could have measured up to the bar it's predecessor set so high. There is a palpable tension with "1987", as if it were now or never. If Whitesnake was going to obtain rock stardom after a decade of toiling in relative obscurity, they had to hit it out of the park with that album - and they did so brilliantly.
"Slip of the Tounge" is noticeably lacking that hunger. After selling 10 million albums, marrying the video vixen that inspired a thousand teen fantasies, and touring the world to sold-out audiences, Coverdale is obviously resting on his laurels. Throw a bunch of cash at the latest guitar god and record an album - life is good, right?
Unfortunately, John Sykes was a greater factor in the success of "1987" than anyone realized (well, perhaps Coverdale *did* realize it, explaining Sykes' undignified termination.) Vandenberg simply isn't as good of a songwriter, and while Vai is an incredibly talented musician, he's simply a poor fit for the material (hey, I love the guy, but you can't be great at *everything*). Listen to "Slip of the Tounge" and "Passion and Warfare" back-to-back. It's obvious where Steve's passion was during that time - and it wasn't with Whitesnake.
So if you're a fan of the genre, the album is certainly worth a listen and one of the better releases in the post-GnR/pre-grunge timeframe. But there's no escaping the fact that it's predecessor is far and away the superior album.
