Soul Sirkus - World Play
Here's a little something different for you. Come on. "Highest Ground" is led by a fist pounding riff that never lets up. The backing vocals and lead vocals really come together on the chorus. A super-charged rhythm sets the pace for "New Position". Neil Schon's guitar work on this one shows that he's been a closet shredder all these years. "Another World" combines wailing guitar licks and marching drum beats to create a post-apocalyptic feel, at least to me. It's like Jeff Scott Soto is trying to inspire hope when all is lost. Warm keyboard tones and melodic guitar work dominate the emotional ballad "Soul Goes On". Soto has always been at his best when he cuts a ballad. Creepy riffs and creepy drums drive home the theme of "Peephole". It's no surprise that Sammy Hagar co-wrote this one. Even creepier is that Soto comes off sounding just like him. "Abailar To' Mudo" showcases bassist Marco Medoza. It's a combination of vocals noises and sounds mixed with a funky bass groove. "My Friend, My Love" is an acapella piece that shows off Soto's range and emotion. Once again the group returns with melodic vocal enhancement. "James Brown" is set to a funky rhythm section that seems like a jam session, with everything delivered on the fly. This album is a forgotten masterpiece. Get it and enjoy it.
Highly recommend for every melodic rock fan.
