Elliot Easton
is a truly gifted and totally underrated guitarist. His talents were not utilized to the fullest in
the Cars
, nor should he be sprucing up covers of
John Fogerty
tunes in a clone band,
Creedence Clearwater Revisited
. With an opportunity to help his own cause,
Change No Change
disappoints on many levels.
Easton
is a terrible vocalist and listening to
"I Want You"
is downright painful for fans who saw and heard notes sparkle out of his axe prior to
getting signed. This was
's opportunity to be recognized as a
Phil Manzanera
,
Alvin Lee
, or
Craig Chaquico
, but instead of using the
"Tools of Your Labor,"
to quote the first song on his disc, and making a statement, he tries to be something he is not. Where
Michael Bruce
of
Alice Cooper
fell into the same trap, failing to entertain by coming up with something as genuine and innovative as the group that brought him fame,
at least presents elements of why his sound was such an important component of
' success. Both
"The Hard Way"
and
"Fight My Way to Love"
have clever ideas and passages that cry out for someone to sing them and bring these songs to life. Why have
Jules Shear
merely provide backing vocals when you have the bassist from
Ministry
' guitarist all in one talent pool?
"Shayla,"
"Help Me,"
"(She Made It) New for Me"
are
Nick Lowe
/
Ian Gomm
-style
pop
songs with
doing his best imitation of
Elvis Costello
. Where
Greg Hawkes
put together a distinctive and classy solo outing with
Niagra Falls
, his former bandmate forces it on songs like
"Wide Awake,"
sounding like
Brian Wilson
propped up in front of the mic when he should have been in a hospital.
Rhino
has released this with five additional tracks but, like
's guitar skills, this album needed a chance to shine. It's too bad
didn't bring in different singers and have some fun, for at least this record shows more creativity than playing
"Proud Mary"
in a cover band. It's better than
the Spiders from Mars
disc after they were ejected from the
David Bowie
experience, but for a man this talented,
is a big letdown. ~ Joe Viglione
