Our White Hot Shootout Winner for 2017
- Our shootout winner for side two and only the second copy to hit the site in many years – Triple Plus (A+++) on side two, Double Plus (A++) on one
- For material and sound I consider this to be the best of Bryan Ferrry’s solo albums – it’s a blast from start to finish
- The energy, presence, bass, and dynamic power (love that horn section!) place it well above his other side projects
- 4 Stars: “The title track itself scored Ferry a deserved British hit single, with great sax work from Chris Mercer and Mel Collins and a driving, full band performance. Ferry’s delivery is one of his best, right down to the yelps, and the whole thing chugs with post-glam power.”
We shot out a number of other imports and this killer side two is As Good As It Gets. The presence, bass, and dynamics place it head and shoulders above the competition. It has what we like to call Master Tape Sound — right in every way. (more…)
