NUMBER THE BRAVE

Let's see what's in there track-by-track:

Loaded: A surprisingly good funky song, with great groove and very pleasant feeling. A sample of the (sometimes not obvious) greatness they bare as artists, being able to play anything on the pop-rock spectrum with success.

Where Is The Love: Boogie rock in the style of ZZ Top, simple but effective. Not great, but not bad at all.

Underground: Jazz-funk atmosphere in this song, which is interesting for it's sound, but not that much as an actual composition.

Kicks On The Street: A groovy rocker which makes you move with the rhythm, but not significant in general.

Open Road: Somewhere between funk and bluegrass, it's a joyful song that and arguably one of the best in this album.

Rainstorm: Pretty forgettable song, nothing special at all.

Get Ready: Pop rock in the style of Bad Company, with a funk guitar part in the middle. Mediocre.

That's That: Fast song that reminds me of the Uriah Heep rockers, but without the keyboards. Nothing special once more.

Roller Coaster: Funk seems to be their ace at this point, since every funky song from this album is better than anything else. For me, this is the second best song of the album behind Loaded.

Number The Brave: Somewhat closer to their past in comparison to the other songs. Judging by it's lyrics and melody, it could be part of Argus if played with a different approach; and if it was a more inspired composition overall...

RATING: Nothing fancy at all. By the time, it was their second worst album after Locked In. 2 stars.
