The Soul is Dead - Soulive loses its soul
What happened? They used to be the baddest band in the land! Now, they’re one of the baddest bands in the land… And that last one is bad meaning bad, not bad meaning good. Now, they are this
, and this ain’t good. With new singer (scratch that) Frontman, Toussaint, the band has lost it’s soul. Alan’s drums are lifeless and can only keep time. Neal’s hammond is dull and Krasno’s guitar is just boring. And to top it off, new lead singer Toussaint is looking to Michael Bolton for inspiration. But Bolton had some soul by comparison. I know you shouldn’t talk so badly about people you don’t know because you never know, you could meet them, but this album is unforgivable. If you want some soul in your Soulive, try one of their older albums
Doin’ Something,
Turn It Out,
Soulive, or any of the Instant Live recordings (I prefer the
Conga Room in Hollywood). Now that’s soul. This new stuff is… I don’t what know it is. Well, it inspired my little angry rant. It is good for that.
