Until [0:02:27.50] # Audio CD (May 3, 1994) # Original Release Date: January 1979 # Number of Discs: 1 # Label: Polydor / Umgd This is mostly just awful, the nadir of the Bee Gees' remarkable catalogue. They knew what they were doing in the wake of the astonishing Saturday Night Fever, all right. The packaging gives it away: blow-dried, cynical and slick. As they stand, in wind-blown silhouette against the raging sky, are those really their SHORTS (no pun intended, ever) peeking from between their presumably hairy legs?? Talk about bathos. As for the actual music, only the wonderful 'Tragedy' which leads the suspicious pack is really worthy of the Bee Gees' incredible canon; the rest is mostly filler. Two other tracks stand out as well, but hey- -we're speaking relatively here. The title track and the funky 'Search, Find' provide a mild one-two punch midway through the dreck. Elsewhere, the overweening vapidity of the hits 'Too Much Heaven' and 'Love You Inside And Out' belies whatever creativity informs the arch production; that they were hits at all says a lot about marketing and the state of commercial radio in the beleaguered 70s- -and whose fault was that? I love these guys, and I know they had to get this stuff out of their system, but thank the Helium God they began losing the balloons over the next few releases. Probably started wearing long pants again, too. |
