Music reviews of Revelation
Music Review: First half good, second half somewhat bland
Rating: 3 Stars
I liked 98 Degrees'Revelation when it first came out. But 6 years later, it hasn't aged as well as their rival pop groups at the time. My favorite is still the Latin-flavored Give Me One More Night (Una Noche). It still sounds funky today with the strong percussion heavy sound. Perhaps lead singers Nick and Drew Lachey were influenced by what Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias were doing at the same time. The Way You Want Me To and Stay the Night are solid. But the album's second half of ballads drag the album down. My Everything is okay, but the other ballads around it range from bland to sometimes boring. They sound colorless and pointless sometimes, the same lovey dovey sappiness that they should have gotten away from. One of them nearly put me to sleep--that's how dull it sounded. They'd be compatible to the ballad style that Nick Lachey is doing now on his current 2006 album, "What's Left of Me." Perhaps the best thing about Revelation is of Jeff Timmons singing lead on a few more songs--it's not Nick singing lead on everything. This may have led to Jeff doing his own solo album. I think that these series of mediocre ballads led to many music critics panning it and putting Revelation on Worst Album of 2000 lists. But I thought the album was okay--it just lacked the punch of the 1998 album that had the most hits. Because I Do (Cherish You) did so very well for the last album, they wanted to see if that same formula could work for Revelation. It somehow didn't.
Description of Revelation
Rather than rushing back into the studio to keep the momentum of their sophomore smash 98 Degrees and Rising going, the four hunks of 98 Degrees decided to act more like real musicians and cowrite and produce their third album. And though there is no shortage of balladry on Revelation, the Ohio-bred act has sprinkled some tasty, uptempo flavors into the sugary, lovelorn mix. The opening track, "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)"--not to be confused with Jennifer Lopez's "Una Noche Mas"--sets the tone with an energetic beat and Spanish guitar. From there, it's back and forth between the harmonized ballads that made 98 Degrees the third most beloved group among the teenage-girl set, and some more daring dance tracks (on "Dizzy," lead crooner Nick Lachey even tries his hand at some dope raps). Thankfully, they've ventured out of the heartsick town where 98 Degrees has always resided, but they've taken a few souvenirs to their new destination: mathematic harmonies, symphonic strings, R&B-tinged pop tunes, and even Richard Marx are along for the ride. Still, they prove that they're not just cogs in some boy-band machine and that they have enough versatility to update their sound every now and again. But don't worry--for those of you who fear there may not be a love song as lovely as "The Hardest Thing" here, Nick, Drew, Jeff, and Justin offer you two new tunes: "My Everything" and "The Way You Are." --Heidi ShermanGeneral CDs
