THIS MARKS WHITESNAKE'S FIRST STUDIO ALBUM SINCE 1997'S VILE AND SICKENING 'RESTLESS HEART', AN ALBUM I PAID 34 DOLLARS FOR AND STILL FEEL VIOLATED ABOUT MORE THAN A DECADE LATER. ELEVEN YEARS LATER COVERDALE FINALLY RETURNS WITH HIS OUTFIT, BUT ARE THERE MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WHO STILL CARE?
COVERDALE WAS ONCE ONE OF THE MOST CHARISMATIC VOCALISTS IN ROCK. HIS STINT WITH DEEP PURPLE AND THE EARLY 'SNAKE ALBUMS WERE ALL CLASSIC HARD ROCK. THEN THE NOTORIOUS ROCK AND ROLL ROMEO DECIDED TO GO 'AMERICAN' IN 1987 AND HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE, SAVE FOR 1993'S 'COVERDALE/PAGE' OUTING.
'GOOD TO BE BAD' IS THE MUSICAL EQUIVALENT OF AN ABORTION. IT RESEMBLES WHAT I IMAGINE THE MANGLED REMAINS OF AN ABORTED FETUS LOOK LIKE AFTER THE PROCERDURE. SCAN THE SONG TITLES AND IMMEDIATELY BEGIN YOUR DECENT INTO MENTAL ILLNESS: 'CALL ON ME', 'ALL I WANT, ALL I NEED', 'TILL THE END OF TIME', 'ALL FOR LOVE'........THE SONGS ARE AS PATHETIC AS THEY SOUND. SHITE ACOUSTIC BALLADS WITH NO AGGRESSION. NOT EVEN THE ROCKERS HAVE ANY GRUNT AND SINGLING THEM OUT WOULD BE A WASTE OF MY TIME AND YOURS READING IT. GOOD JOB I DOWNLOADED THIS BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE SEEN PURCHASING THIS EVEN WITH A SAWN OFF SHOTGUN INSERTED INTO MY ANUS BY A TERRORIST.
AGAIN OLD DAVID INSISTS ON COPYING ROBERT PLANT WITH HIS SHRIEKING VOCALS, AGAIN IGNORING HIS ONCE DEEP THROATED TONE THAT MADE HIM A ONE TIME LEGEND. IT'S OVER, FACE IT. WHEN YOUR BAND HAS REB BEACH AMONG ITS RANKS, THE WRITING'S ON THE FUCKING WALL.
THIS WILL SHIFT MAYBE 75,000 COPIES WORLDWIDE AT BEST. THEN DURING THE GIGS ALL COVERDALE WILL SING ARE WORN OUT 'CLASSICS' LIKE 'IS THIS LOVE' AND 'HERE I GO AGAIN'. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS TO HEAR THESE SONGS ANYMORE? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO HEAR 'LOVEHUNTER' OR 'ROUGH AND READY'?
NOT EVEN FOR THE PURISTS. THIS IS AIDS.
