Beck, Bogart & Appice - s/t

2005 German reissue w/ two bonus trax and liner notes. I fell in love w/ this album the first moment I heard it from my older brothers` bedroom in 1974. "4 stars.. One of the great things about Jeff Beck is his utter unpredictability. It`s also one of the most maddening things about him, too, since it`s as likely to lead to flights of genius as it is to weird detours like Beck, Bogert & Appice. It`s hard to tell what exactly attracted Beck to the rhythm section of Vanilla Fudge and Cactus -- perhaps he just wanted to rock really loud and really hard, beating Led Zeppelin at their own game. Whatever the motivation, the end result was the same -- a leaden album, with occasional interesting guitar work smothered by heavy riffs and rhythms that don`t succeed on a visceral level. It`s a loud, lumbering record that may be of interest for Beck archivists,"-AMG.
