This, Niacin's 3rd CD is a welcome return to form after "High Bias". Having been totally blown away by their first CD I was quite disappointed with the second, but this is truly excellent stuff! Billy Sheehan has backed off a bit from his legendary faster-than-all rock playing and sits right on the groove, just adding little embelishments when musically tasteful. Opening track "Swing Swang Swung" has one of the finest bass tones I've ever heard, live or recorded. On track "Best Laid Plans" keyboard magician John Novello starts things rolling with an unexpected piano intro that steps up a gear into a really laid back Hammond B3 groove.
When listening to the opening bars of "Stompin' Ground" you would be forgiven for thinking that you had been transported to the Scottish Highlands!
The finest bass playing on the CD has to be on the into to "Mean Streets" - yup you guessed right, this is a Bass, Hammond and drums only version of the Van Halen classic! It is fantastic! (even without the guitar of you know who!). Uber drummer Dennis Chambers takes this track by the neck and completely controls the whole feel. Inpirational playing from the man who claims he never practices!! (Yeah right!)
"Klunkified" gives a perfect example as to how bass players CAN play as many notes as their guitarists friends and still keep perfect rhythm with the drums: Awesome!
I remember watching a videotape of "Bass Day 97" with Billy Sheehan when he was trying to describe the music of Niacin - he described it as a mix of blues and fusion. He said that he was going to call it "Blusion" and at last we have a track of the same name, and yes it does show exactly what this band is about: Tone, Groove and Inventiveness!
Finally we have guest appearances from Glenn Hughes (vocals) and the mighty guitar tone of Steve Lukather on "Things Ain't like the used to be"
The only thing wrong with this CD: the bass ain't as loud as it was on their first release! (But as a bass player I'm probably biased!)
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT??? Everyone should have a copy of this CD. Spread the word!
