Peter Frampton
Thank You Mr Churchill
Coming April 27.
Campus Correspondent Review By Andy Argyrakis,
Campus Correspondents coordinator
It would be unfair to compare any of Peter Frampton’s recent albums to his guitar god status of the 1970s, if only because he’s tried to shy away from those psychedelic sounds in favor of a more modern rock n’ roll flavoring. Though he certainly makes a valiant attempt to strain any of his undeniably extraordinary riffs from having a dated component throughout Thank You Mr Churchill his voice lacks the gusto those chords possess and make much of the album sound tired or uninspired.
Take for instance the title track, an absolute barn burner of a jam in which Frampton’s voice sounds conservative and almost weary, while the ballad “Black Ice” sounds feeble and sleepy. He’s a bit grittier throughout “Road To The Sun” and retains glimpses of that retro glory on “Invisible Man,” but even the best of intentions can’t make up for otherwise understated execution.
