HOW DARE YOU! (10 CC) - 1976

Giovedì scorso ho postato "The original soundtrack", capolavoro dei 10CC nonché uno degli album rock meglio realizzati ed eseguiti in assoluto.

Il lavoro successivo, "How dare you!" (1976), ricalca in qualche modo lo schema dell'album precedente, pur risultando inferiore al confronto. Infatti, vengono a mancare le atmosfere suggestive di "The original soundtrack", a vantaggio di modelli e strutture decisamente più "rockeggianti".

Resta in ogni caso indubbia l'abilità, sia come autori sia come strumentisti, cantanti e produttori del suono, dei quattro di Manchester: Eric Stewart, Lawrence "Lol" Creme, Kevin Godley e Graham Gouldman.

Voto personale (scarso / insufficiente / sufficiente / buono / distinto / ottimo / eccellente): Distinto.

Last Thursday I posted "The original soundtrack", the 10 CC's masterpiece as well as one of the most refined and "arty" rock albums ever.

The next album released by the band, "How dare you!" (1976), follows the same pattern as the previous one, though it does not stand comparison with it. The charming atmosphere of "The original soundtrack" has gone: "How dare you" sounds more "rock", yet at top level.

No doubt the 10 CC (Eric Stewart, Lawrence "Lol" Creme, Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman) stand out both as authors and musicians, vocalists and sound producers.

My personal mark (very poor / poor / pass / good / fairly good / very good / excellent): Fairly good.
