Title: "Exit 21" This guy has a strange handle on pop/rock. The songs are in the deep-end lyrically, but the musical hooks grab you and have you bopping before you know what's going on. This takes skill, and Rick Denzien has plenty of it. The songs have a political edge, and Denzien wears his feelings on his sleeve. "Desperation" is a full blast rocker that weaves a driving drum beat with cool guitar phrasing, but the real deal is in the words: "What kind of fool am I thinking there's music on MTV?/At least we live in a place with no public executions/Unless you move or koresh your way to oblivion yeah...Most people in power got no mind they learn crowd control/They keep their secrets hidden we're not on their agenda". All this is rounded out with the refrain of "Yeah-eh-yeah-eh-yeah", with a brilliant in-your-face yell of frustration. "Father Love" slows down the pace a little, but the lyrics are still sharp: "Can we father love in the new age/I thought we had a new world order". "Her Calling" has a catchy 80s pop sound with a nice female background vocal in the chorus--this one is my favorite. Denzien has no problem in stating his views--his honesty hits you head-on. But its not preachy, so you can take it all in without getting it pounded down your throat. MISH MASH Mandate: Thinking cap music. |
