Music reviews of Break Like the Wind

Music Review: The best thing Spinal Tap has ever produced.
Rating: 5 Stars

The songs are, in my opinion, funnier and catchier than the ones on the original soundtrack. "B**** School" starts off the album, wallowing in male-dominant lyrics. "The Majesty of Rock" comes in with a sweeping melody and beat, and lyrics such as "And it feels so real, you can feel the feeling!". "Diva Fever" is a faster song with amazing solos by Dweezil Zappa. And what would a good parody album be without a ballad? Nothing, exactly! "Just Begin Again" is a beautiful (chuckles) and uplifting (laughs hysterically) song. The appearance of Cher really adds a lot to this song. Just listen to David and Cher try to harmonize, you'll be rolling on the floor. "Cash On Delivery" is just an awesome song. Its classic hard rock, with great riffs and a great beat. "Rainy Day Sun" is the obligatory hippie song. Its pretty good, not the albums best, but pretty cool. Things build up to what could be the album's highlight, "Break Like the Wind". The title track really shows off what Spinal Tap can do. There are some awesome solos in this song by about 4 different people, including Slash and Jeff Beck. There are so many guitars going at the end, it starts to get really distorted. Amazing song. "Stinking Up the Great Outdoors" is a great Southern rock tune, complete with harmonicas and slide guitar. Along comes the albums strangest song, "Springtime". Nigel Tuffnel comes in with what sounds like a cross between Louis Armstrong and Johnny Rotten... its hilarious. He then commences with a guitar solo made with his voice, I guess through some kind of effects thingie. Thats also hilarious. The ending is very disjointed. "Clam Caravan" could also be the albums highlight, very soothing Eastern-sound, and a horrible sitar solo (this is intentional, of course). "Christmas With the Devil" is another great hard rock tune. Track 13, though not listed, is a great little filler track, and it actually has something to say! And the album ends with the classic "All the Way Home". All Spinal Tap fans should remember this song from the fast food scene in the movie.

Well, this is a long review, but all I want to say is that, if you think this can't possibly be as good as the film or the original soundrack, give it a good listen to. You'll grow to love it.
