Pro Reviews: Ziggurats
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Advance buzz over the third album by Australian trio the Beautiful Girls was that the once primarily acoustic trio was plugging and turning up in an attempt to move away from the "mellow jam band" tag and consistent Ben Harper and Jack Johnson comparisons they were getting. Well, Ziggurats is indeed a bit noisier; opening track "Royalty" even features a ton of distorted power chords. But at heart, the songs on Ziggurats are pretty much entirely the same as they would have been if they had appeared on earlier Beautiful Girls albums. The same codreggae beat underpins songs like "Sir, Your Fashion Has The Cold Heart Of A Killer" (though, to be fair, points for the song title) and "Bring Me Your Cup," and singersongwriter Mat McHugh (who with the addition of new drummer Bruce Braybrooke is now the band's sole original member) still sings like he's imitating Sting imitating Bob Marley. Anyone still looking for Police albums with all the interesting or quirky bits sanded away in favor of nothing but a certain brand of easylistening skank will be all over Ziggurats. Those with an allergy to Trustafarians, hacky sacks and patchouli oil are advised to stay well away. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide |
