Music reviews of Airwaves { Bonus Tracks }

Music Review: Sounds like your typical late-70's rock/pop music...
Rating: 3 Stars

Airwaves sees the salvaged band of Badfinger perhaps trying a little too hard to have a hit record. The late seventies were some bad years for rock music, in my opinion, and this album doesn't offer up anything too special. Despite what Elecktra Records apparently said at the time, I don't agree that the album sounds much like Badfinger (save for the voices, of course).
The simple, 30-second acoustic guitar opener begins the album light-weightedly and zaps right into "Look Out California," one of the better tracks, where the band sings about being "back in the airwaves." It's a good rocker, very good considering the year it was made. "Lost Inside Your Love" sounds like a half-ballad, but isn't very memorable. Fleeting member Joe Tansin's two contributions, "Sympathy" and "The Winner," sung by Tom Evans & Joey Molland, respectively, don't help the overall album much. "Sympathy" has a cool guitar riff, but the vocals and beat become a bit too disco-sounding for my tastes. The song which reportedly kicked off the sessions for Airwaves, the well-meaning "The Winner," isn't too much better.
Joey really proves his worth on this album, contributing most of the better tracks. "Love Is Gonna Come At Last" is a soft rocker and a very delicious slice of pop, and placed perfectly on the album. "The Dreamer" is a near-grandiose ballad, whose majestic arrangement clashes nicely with Joey's rough voice. However, "Come Down Hard," probably the hardest on the album, isn't anything special. Despite Joey's strong showing, it's Tom who steals the spotlight at the end with the beautiful piano ballad "Sail Away," where he sings about carrying on, a phrase, ironically, Badfinger seemed to use a lot.
The bonus tracks, unfortunately, aren't worth much. For starters, three of them shouldn't even be considered Badfinger tracks. The ones I'm referring to are "Send Me Your Love," "Steal My Heart," and "Can You Feel The Rain." The former two were recorded by Tansin during the mid-80's (ew). The reason why they are included with the album is because he wrote them during the Airwaves sessions. "Can You Feel The Rain" was written later after Tom's suicide and recorded expressly for this reissue. All three are pretty bad. Even Joey Molland's "Love Can't Hide," co-written by him & Tansin and recorded for the reissue, isn't too good. The only bonus track which truely belongs is "One More Time" (featuring Tansin's lead vocal), which was actually recorded during the Airwaves sessions but not used...and it's pretty easy to see why.
In short, if you're currently in the process of collecting Badfinger's albums like I am, you probably shouldn't make Airwaves a high priority.
