Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Quite how Squatney's finest heavy metal combo managed to bounce back from the commercial fiasco surrounding Smell The Glove and the US tour which found them supporting puppet shows at children's' amusement parks is anyone's guess. But here they are once more, with fire in their bellies. Or maybe that's indigestion. Break Like The Wind re-unites perm-headed poet David St Hubbins, confused tongue-waggling axeman Nigel "I'm a professional, I rise above it" Tufnel and jazz-oriented courgette enthusiast Derek Smalls for a record which, although hardly redefining the meaning of rock & roll, succeeds in not choking on it's own creative vomit, or anybody else's for that matter. For example, the totally ironic (of course) "Bitch School" hits back at critics who have accused them of being "too sexy", "Rainy Day Sun" is what The Kinks would sound like now if it was still 1965 (or something) and the over-inflated imperialist pomp-rock of "The Sun Never Sweats" is beyond words. This album finds Spinal Tap sounding young again--young again in a grown-men-trapped-in-the-bodies-of-13-year-old-boys kind of way (in fact, early school skiffle demo "All The Way Home" is also included here). A hit? This record should climb all the way up to Number 11. --Kevin Maidment Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The majesty of rock!Spinal Tap returns! The most prolific nonexistant band ever is back with "Break Like The Wind," a wonderfully warped metal album that celebrates rock'n'roll, bad lyrics and exploding drummers. This a bad album -- gloriously, magnificently bad, in the way only a spoof can be. It opens with the roaring male dominance rocker "Bitch School," which would be offensive if it weren't tongue-in-cheek, then lurches on to the wonderfully bloated "Majesty of Rock," a gloriously ghastly duet with Cher, the insanely pretentious "The Sun Never Sweats" ("Bolder than the pirates who used to rule the sea/Braver than the natives, who never heard of tea...") The peak of this album may be the song "Break Like the Wind," which aspires to be ... Read More: Rating: - What the Darkness wish they were...This album, quite simply, rocks! There's no escaping the fact that it's a spoof, but musically speaking it far surpasses much of what tries to pass for the real thing! The Darkness should take note... While Justin Hawkins and co try to have us believe that they are a proper, serious band, everyone just thinks they're a piss-take; on the other hand everyone knows that Tap are a piss-take, but they could quite easily cut it as a real band! Rating:  - Spinal tap rock outOnce again spinal tap deliver with good riffs and hooks. This album should be in everyones music collection miss at your peril!! Rating: - What? No filler?This band are undoubtedly the best band ever. No question, unless the question is asked very nicely and in hushed tones. There are just some classic moments on this cd and some incredibly enlightening lyrics, giving us a look into the mind of the writer and a startlingly vivid depiction of the subtle meaning of each song. Maybe they're TOO good. I mean, I've actually heard people laughing at these songs! Blasphemy! Iron Maiden learned everything from these boys, and don't they know it - no one ever laughs at their albums. Do they? The songs on here cannot be judged by usual standards - most people would disagree with putting FOUR guest lead guitarists on one song (break like the wind) or writing a song showing the similarity between the spanish ...

Authentic - Yes , well , almost . I've experienced first-hand the manic , miserable , magical world of R'n'R Show-biz and these guys show the fun and foul-ups , sometimes with a little exagerration , sometimes they just tell it like it is . The surprising aspect of it all is that they're so damn good at putting down what they're putting down . They Rock . They Roll . They're real . This album is what all Tappers have been waiting for . A generation after they first broke through from back-stage into our lives , my teenage son is as enthused about their work as I was all those years ago . Go on - get this import - it's got an extra track ... Read More: |
