Music reviews of Change No Change
Music Review: The Tools of His Labor
Rating: 4 Stars
Elliot Easton met ace songwriter Jules Shear while working as a sideman on Shear's "Watch Dog" album. The Cars were in the process of putting together "Heartbeat City." In other words, all parties were at the peak of their powers. So when Easton asked Shear to collaborate on a solo record he was thinking of, the resulting "Change No Change" was probably beyond the expectations of Cars fans that heard it. It's since gone on to cult status.
As stated in the previous review, there's almost no way you'll be able to hear the 10 songs from the original album and not want to track down a few of Shear's solo albums (though he has, of late, become more acoustic). Jules' former Polar Bear band mate and well known producer Stephen Hague (New Order, Pet Shop Boys) provided a pure pop sheen to the songs, and Easton wore his 60's influences on his sleeve. "Shayla," the album's first charmer of a single, is right out of the Hollies songbook, and "Wearing Down Like A Wheel" nods to his Cars mates. There's plenty of jangley, angular guitar that Easton is known for (especially on "Change").
Elliot also sings in a pleasant, if reedy voice, which is more than can be said for the Billy Squire sound of the five previously unreleased bonus songs. (Vocalist Danny Malone took over leads from Easton, and Roy Thomas Baker contributes his never subtle production chops.) The backstory behind their long shelf time is more interesting than the songs themselves (though "Lonely Is The Dark" is OK in a mid-eighties big hair kind of way). Be that as it may, there weren't too many people that heard "Change No Change" when it originally came out, so if you find a copy, snap it up. You'll be snapping your fingers soon after.
