3.0 out of 5 stars Never Mind The Big Bottoms, Smell The Glove!, 7 Aug 2009
By Mr. M. A. Reed (Somewhere, GB) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The big question is... why bother? I can't recall any great demand or desire for a new Spinal Tap album, and there isn't any artistic reason for it. Every band, it seems has the whole reunion moment - including those that happen for no reason at all, apart from possibly boredom or ego or money. That said, with one member of Spinal Tap coining in $400,000 per episode of The Simpsons (400 episodes and counting), he must be fairly well off.

So... er, why? It's by no means a bad record, but it isn't very good. There are re-recordings of quarter-century old songs, last heard in faux-live form on the original, classic debut. These established songs are given fairly pedestrian funk and reggae tinges. "Funky Sex Farm" sounds like a 2000-era Prince out-take : servicable, possessed of great groove, but not necessarily designed to be listened to more than once. By the same token, the new recordings of the old classics are mostly redundant - a new guitar lick or drum roll here or there - but ultimately, if you know the original stuff, you've heard this all before.

There's a couple of 'new' songs : the ancient free-download of "Back From The Dead" and the ho-hum "Warmer than Hell". The legendary "Jazz Odyessy" is here : and it's dull. And where's "Saucy Jack"? That's a brilliant song.

Anyway, there's no reason for this record apart to shove out some more Spinal Tap pap for you to buy. It's pretty good, but it's not really essential listening - and a pointless record is a sin against every struggling artists there is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should've stayed dead!, 24 Jul 2009
By D. R. Reid (Merseyside United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a Tap fanatic, I had to buy this CD but was left wondering what the point of it was since it's mostly reworkings of old material. Still, it was worth it to hear 'Jazz Oddysey' at last but will 'It's A Smalls World' ever see the light of day?

2.0 out of 5 stars same old same old..., 17 Jul 2009
By mark the shark (Flanders Fields) - See all my reviews
I consider myself a real fan of Spinal Tap: i got the VHS tapes, the cds, the Criterion DVD, etc... so naturally i pre-ordered when i heard the guy's had a new cd. But "Back from the dead" is disappointing: only 2 new songs really, the other tunes are re-recorded classics and some studio jams. The bonus DVD is 1 hour of the guy's talking about the songs, unrehearsed and thus only sporadically funny. To make matters worse they're on an acoustic tour at the moment (???)
If you saw the band rock out on Conan O'Brien a few days ago and you want to hear more then i suggest you buy the amazing None more black album aka This is Spinal Tap and also the most excellent "Break like the wind".
