Digitally remastered edition. Humanesque is the album that made Green's name. To describe Green's albums, Western Canadian rock critics of that time used terms like: infectious, contagious, bloody good singer, molten metal sound, prime pop material. This kind of supreme excellence was absolutely unexpected as Jack Green brilliantly blended post punk with glam rock - all this was then drenched in reggae sunshine. Guitar solos and riffs are very bright and captivating and performance is masterfully skilful too. So Humanesque carries not just the spirit of the 80s but also all the best inheritance of glam rock years. Green's nonchalant vocal delivery is matched up to some tight, guitar driven new wave for a sorta skinny tied Tom Petty sound on this solo debut. Keep an ear out for Ritchie Blackmore laying down the leads on "I Call No Answer. A pure 80's classic something that is a must own for all fans of 80's new wave meets guitar pop rock. |
