Music reviews of Slideling
Music Review: AWESOME ALBUM START to FINISH
Rating: 5 Stars
This is one of the best solo efforts from Ian McCulloch to date. I like every song EXCEPT "Arthur". I just can't get into that track, but other than that I LOVE THIS ALBUM!
I often wonder why people always compare a band's music and sound to that of a solo effort from one of the artists of the group (I.E., Deborah Harry-vs-Blondie, Bjork-vs-The Sugarcubes, Ric Ocasek-vs-The Cars, etc.).
My reasoning is this. When an artist of a band releases solo projects, that's exactly what it's supposed to be--SOLO. Meaning this artist has no limitations as to their sound or style, whereas when they're in the band--all the band members collaborate to create the band's signature sound. Like one reviewer for this Ian McCulloch album who was looking for a track that sounded like Echo & The Bunnymen. If you want Echo & The Bummymen--Listen to their albums, not Ian's. A solo effort is supposed to be a "departure" from the signature sound fans are used to. Whether fans are willing and able to accept that fact and just enjoy a solo album is the question.
Description of Slideling
This long awaited solo album from ex-Echo & The Bunnymen frontman is classic McCulloch, moody & atmospheric with thoughtful lyrics & powerful instrumental washes. Multi-platinum stars Coldplay appear on several tracks. 'More Bryon than Bono, McCulloch dances between Bryan Ferry's lounge lizard & Jim Morrison's lizard king...he's as innovative as ever' - Rolling Stone. Cooking Vinyl. 2003.Given the Phoenix-like post-millennium resurrection of Echo & the Bunnymen, Slideling is a rather unexpected and rather belated third solo offering from their loquacious egotist of a frontman. It's clear, however, that you may be able to take the Ian McCulloch out of Echo & the Bunnymen (not a good idea if judged by past experience), but you can't take the Echo & the Bunnymen out of McCulloch, even if his abstention in this instance is merely temporary. Despite auxiliary assistance from both Jon Buckland and Chris Martin of Coldplay and actor John Simm, circumventing the Bunnymen's shadowy, superstitious pop signature was not going to be easy for one of that band's two integral players. And so Slideling has it's quota of slyly atypical squinty-eyed rockers, among them "High Wires" and "She Sings (All My Life)," two numbers that not only divulge a lingering debt to David Bowie and the Velvet Underground, but also to prior Bunnymen compositions like "Do It Clean" and "Seven Seas." Slideling is McCulloch's best solo offering by a distance. --Kevin Maidment
