Music reviews of 3 Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine
Music Review: Great songs + (a little) filler
Rating: 5 Stars
The pretentiously-titled "Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine" contains some of the best songs in Daryl Hall's impressive canon. With a little filler. It also should be noted that it is the most "Hall & Oates-y" of the Daryl Hall solo efforts.
In his prime, Daryl Hall possessed probably the finest male voice in Anglo-American pop music. He had a powerful instrument which he wielded with authority. His range has always been extraordinary. From loud powerful, tour de force vocal workouts, to rawly emotional soul and R&B, to quiet ballads such as "August Day." Hall has consistently delivered great vocals that support, but rarely overwhelm, the underlying pop hooks and melody.
The hidden gem on this disc is without a doubt "For You." Hall delivers maybe the best vocal performance of his career. From the quiety, whispery vocals on the verse, he acclerates effortlessly to a loud, nearly out-of-control yell on the chorus, both styles perfectly matching the tone of this schizophrenic song. Difficult vocal gymnastic nailed by this consummate professional.
The anthemic "Dreamtime" was the hit single. This may be the best "rock" style vocal of Hall's career. And Hall hits some castrato-esque high notes on the minor hit "Foolish Pride," all of which work in the context of this pop song.
OK, there is some filler. "Right as Rain" is a bit boring, for instance. Daryl Hall John Oates LP's often closed with a ballad and the one closing down "Three Hearts" is "What's Gonna Happen to Us." It's OK, but it's no "Without Tears," which closed "Sacred Songs." (Well, closed it before the bonus tracks were added to the CD.)
Definitely a must-have for Daryl Hall fans. If you've forgotten these songs over the last 20+ years, you'll be happy to become re-acquainted with them on CD. It won't win Daryl Hall any converts, but it'll be much loved by the already-convinced.
