Hard Rock
Sir David Coverdale has returned with a new album that is a true return to Whitesnake’s 1980’s dominance. It is not a simple case of saying this is the next 1987 or Slide It In as Forevermore stands on it’s own merits. That said, it does sit nicely on a shelf next to these two classics.
The band, featuring the dynamic guitar tandem of Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, play like their lives depend on it. Beach is amazing guitarist in his own right, perhaps more schooled and even more technically skilled than his counterpart, however, Aldrich wins, hands down, in the songwriting and rip snorting, from the crotch, rocking lead guitarist point of view. Having co-written the album with Coverdale, Aldrich’s presence helps take this album from just another Whitesnake album to a true rock classic.
Track-by-Track
Steal Your Heart Away
This tune centers around a distorted blues lick, part Whitesnake, part ZZ Top. Coverdale, despite being in his 60’s, steals the song with his come hither vocals. This song proves the band is firing on all cylinders. The guitar solo bounces between hammer-ons, melodic runs and lickity-split fast runs.
All Out of Luck
Think of this song as a utility player on a baseball team. Not an all-star and not a minor leaguer but rather somewhere in-between. Far from a clunker, “All Out of Luck” is more than filler yet it fails to reach the heights of the songs surrounding it. Worthy yet just not as worthy as others on Forevermore.
Love Will Set You Free
This is the best song Whitesnake has written in the last quarter century. Coverdale will quell all rumors of vocal problems. New drummer Brian Tichy holds this one together allowing Doug Aldrich to jam out one of the best solos of his career. The video features a poll-dancing scene that will have heterosexual males of all ages glued to the television.
Easier Said Than Done
This tune is pretty much the ‘let’s do a classic Whitesnake ballad’ part of Forevermore. It is a nice, melodic song that is sure to be loved by the girls more than the boys.
Tell Me How
The band did a good job with this one, creating a mid-tempo tune that incorporates some modern guitar technique without abandoning the classic Snake sound. Not the strongest track but not the worst either.
I Need You (Shine a Light)
Doug Aldrich and David Coverdale wrote a true hit single with this one. The song has a great, melodic lick, a great guitar solo and a powerful vocal. The intriguing thing about “I Need You” is that this is not a run of the mill Whitesnake track. It shows the band growing and willing to try different things. It is a straight-ahead rocker with an inviting twist. This song is a trip back to early Bernie Marsden Whitesnake with a tip of the hat to the classic ‘80’s band while still standing on it’s own. Needless to say it is one of the best tracks on the disc.
One of These Days
“One of These Days” is a an acoustic number that would have been at home on Coverdale’s post Deep Purple solo albums. It is a nice break from the hard rocking songs and, once again, shows the band willing to take risks and step outside of what the industry would expect from Whitesnake.
Love and Treat Me Right
As “I Need You” and “One of These Days” show the band willing to try different things, “Love and Treat Me Right” show that Whitesnake still remember why they become so famous. This would have been at home on any of the band’s platinum albums of the past. It should be turned up to 11.
Dogs in the Street
If there is a clunker on Forevermore then “Dogs” is it. One could say “Dogs” is a dog. It is not a bad song but the ‘80’s clichйs are all over the place. Back in the day, when albums were only ten songs, it is doubtful this one would have made the cut.
Fare Thee Well
David appeals to his British past with this acoustic tune. This is one of the best songs on the album. It is something that he would not have put on an album in the past as it is a long way from “Still of the Night.” This is a heartfelt song featuring innocent lyrics and a melancholy strummed acoustic guitar. One could see the band ending their regular set with this one as it would have lighters and cell phones lighting up arenas every night.
Whipping Boy Blues
Dripping with electric guitar, “Whipping Boy” would fit comfortably on Ready and Willing from the early Whitesnake era or perhaps on Slide It In. The solos are crisp, the rhythm loud and proud and the vocals sexified. Beach does whammy bar dives while Aldrich rips speedy licks. This is another one where the band seem to be hell bent on making the classic rock community sit up and take notice.
My Evil Ways
Think Whitesnake meets classic Scorpions and you have an idea of the guitar-fest that is “My Evil Ways.” Coverdale, again, impresses with his powerful vocals. This is classic Snake that should prove to be a centerpiece in the live set. Aldrich and Beach take a harmonic lead break that builds up to a true wankfest of killer proportions. The two have a true guitar battle that leaves only one winner: The listener!
Forevermore
The title track is a seven-minute plus epic that shows all of the current band’s strengths. The musicianship is stellar, the vocals outstanding and the mixture of ballad and rocker, light to darkness and soft to loud make this one of the best of the bunch.By Jeb Wright
Дэвид Ковердейл в ответе за всю группу Whitesnake
Через три года после выхода триумфальной пластинки Good To Be Bad (2008) из состава выпустившей ее группы Whitesnake ушло три человека, ровно полкоманды. Будь это не Whitesnake, впору было бы сильно удивляться и не понимать, зачем музыкантам уходить из команды, у которой дела идут столь хорошо. Но мы имеем дело с ансамблем, у которого за тридцать с лишним лет истории сменилось все, что могло смениться: и сценический образ, и музыкальный стиль и особенно состав, который всегда был самым нестабильным звеном группы. Неизменной фигурой в нем остается лишь Дэвид Ковердейл, человек, которому мы обязаны появлением этого дивного коллектива. В хард-роке не принято работать в формате сольного проекта, и Дэвид умело маскирует сольную деятельность под жизнь целой группы. Нам-то какая разница – была бы музыка стоящей! А музыка Whitesnake определенно стоит внимание любителей рока, будь они почитателями ломового харда, мелодичного блюза или слезливых баллад. Несмотря на то, что к созданию почти каждого альбома Whitesnake подходили в новом составе, стиль команда выдерживает очень строго, потому что за этим следит дядька Дэйв. Так что, именно он в первую очередь в ответе за то, что Whitesnake выпустили в 2011 году, альбом с очень хард-роковым названием Forevermore.
Forevermore в разрезе: хард рок, рок-н-ролл и блюз
Последние релизы Whitesnake следуют одной четкой линии: Ковердейл изо всех сил пытается избежать сравнений с пластинками золотой эры группы – середины восьмидесятых. Предыдущая работа команды, Good To Be Bad, оказалась гораздо тяжелее и агрессивнее тех альбомов, а Forevever, напротив, демонстрирует более тонкую, мелодичную черту музыкального характера Whitesnake. Тем не менее, начинается альбом так, как следует начинаться всякому хард-рок релизу, громко, бескомпромиссно и отчаянно. Обладая всеми этими свойствами, песня Steal Your Heart Away гарантирует себе место в концертном сете группы на ближайшее будущее. Другие композиции такого плана, I Need You (Shine A Light), Love And Treat Me Right и совсем бесовская My Evil Ways, разбросаны по списку так, чтобы их мощная энергия рассеялась по всему альбому. В этих песнях фирменный баланс Whitesnake блюза и хард-рока нарушается в пользу последнего благодаря крепким рифам и отлично выведенным техничным соло. Между такими заводным вещами отыскиваются приятные баллады, Fare The Well, Easier Said Than Done, One Of These Days, и удалые рок-н-ролльные произведения с блюзовой мелодикой, All Out Of Luck, Whipping Boy Blues. Завершается Forevermore одноименной полубалладой, в которой акустическое вступление сменяется мощной электрогитарой.
Whitesnake побеждают время
Дэвид Ковердейл ничуть не изменился как поэт и по-прежнему пишет незамысловатые строки про любовь и ее неприятные последствия. Зато радует его вокал, который стал чуть лучше, чуть выразительнее. Это особенно приятно, учитывая то повреждение связок, которое он получил в недавнем прошлом, гастролируя вместе с Judas Priest. В целом, альбом Forevermore может с гордо поднятой головой вступать в богатую дискографию Whitesnake, где явно не затеряется. Пластинка едва ли претендует на роль революционной работы, но у нее совсем другие задачи. Когда группе больше тридцати лет, радует сам факт ее студийной деятельности. Whitesnake и вовсе пока не подают признаков упадка или старения. Группа с успехом пишет альбомы, опираясь на большой запас собственных наработок. Классическое звучание этих песен оценят по достоинству и старые, и новые поклонники Whitesnake, для которых Forevermore – еще один повод порадоваться за любимую группу.Muzobzor
