Big Crush: Temptation Review
The Canadian ensemble Big Crush may not be a chart busting band, but they do know how to lay down a punchy album. Temptation is the seven-track debut record now airing.
Having listened to the entire album for the first time, it felt as though the tracks generally blended into one blaring mass and there was nothing too thought-provoking coming through. However, after several repeats there are a few sweet little licks and riff sequences to be heard especially in tracks like “Black And Blue Tattoo” and “Twist Of Fate.”
One definite seductive feature from this band is the expressive and commanding voice of Joanna Swan. The rest of the group form a solid backing and are extremely proficient in their instrumental skill. However it just feels as though they lack the song writing formula needed for a truly great blues rock song.
“How Many Times” is the last track and unquestionably stands apart from the rest. Being more of a ballad, it plays an emotionally charged ending and is not to be missed. While Big Crush have some points of interest, they seem to be a tough band to relate to on an intimate level. The album is worthy of good recognition, but it still lacks overall refinement needed to reach a wider respectful audience.
