Размещаем без перевода рецензию на великолепный альбом пауэр-поп группы The Toms и настоятельно советуем членам клуба ознакомиться с сэмплами, размещенными на сайте.
The Toms is singer-songwriter Tom Marolda's 1979 multiple-personality debut, one in which he plays all the instruments and does all the voices on a collection chock-full of songs in the great pop-rock tradition: hummable melodies and catchy lyrics with an undeniably danceable beat. The tunes are immediately memorable, the hooks irresistible, and the words are wry, insightful, and often funny. Most are terrifically upbeat, propelled by a chiming, bell-like Rickenbacker 12-string guitar; round, bouncing bass parts; and straight-ahead in-the-pocket drumming. Even if you hadn't read about Marolda's love for the Beatles in some officious, encyclopedic tome-especially his appreciation for Paul McCartney's gift for infectious melody and snappy, memorable words-you would have to know that Marolda is certainly a true fan and of one mind when it comes to making the song and its instrumentation a total unforgettable entity.
