Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
I picked up this album mainly for Ike's take on "Something," which has a George Harrison meets Jimmy Webb vibe (I kept expecting him to launch into "MacArthur Park" at any moment) and features some "Devil Went Down to Georgia"-style fiddle. Fortunately, the only lengthy monologue is at the beginning of "I Stand Accused," and it's nothing like the endless simp-rap intro to "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" from his last album. Sure, with feminism and "Pumpkin" showing her true colors these days, Ike's views might seem a bit old-fashioned... but I'm straying off topic. I have zero issues with this pressing. The sound is rich and full, with no crackles or pops, and the vinyl is flat and centered. However, the front and back photos of Ike in his zebra outfit seem a bit fuzzy to me. A bit more detail would've been nice. The record comes with a simple, white paper inner sleeve—no poly, but that's an easy fix. After giving the vinyl a good cleaning, it sounds fantastic.
I picked up this album mainly for Ike's take on "Something," which reminded me of George Harrison meets Jimmy Webb—honestly, I was half-expecting him to launch into "MacArthur Park" at any second! There's also this cool fiddle part that gives it a bit of a "Devil Went Down to Georgia" vibe. The only lengthy spoken bit is at the beginning of "I Stand Accused," and it's a breeze compared to that endless simp-rap intro on "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" from his last album. I mean, these days, with feminism and Tina revealing her true colors, Ike's views almost seem charmingly old-fashioned... but I'm straying off topic. This pressing is solid, though. The sound is rich and full, no crackles or pops, and the vinyl is flat and centered. The photos of Ike in his zebra print outfit on the front and back covers could use a bit more detail—maybe a few extra pixels wouldn't hurt. The record comes with a simple white paper inner sleeve, no poly lining, but that's an easy fix. After giving the vinyl a good clean, it sounds fantastic.
This album is absolutely fantastic and hands down my top pick from my entire vinyl collection. Hayes' voice is simply incredible.
Outstanding record and my favourite of all my vinyl. Hayes voice is amazing.
