Album Review
This superb CD isn't what some might expect from a band that boasted former members of Motley Crue and Kiss. Given that singer John Corabi had been with the Crue and guitarist Bruce Kulick spent 12 years with Kiss, some headbangers might have been hoping for some delightfully decadent and trashy heavy metal/hard rock. But let's not forget that Corabi's only album with the Crue, 1994's Motley Crue, was a major departure from the Crue's albums with Vince Neil. And in fact, Union's main focus is forceful yet melodic alternative rock that has more in common with Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and the Stone Temple Pilots than Kiss or Vince Neil-era Crue. "Love (I Don't Need It Anymore)" may allude to slick 1980s corporate rock, but "Heavy D...," "Tangerine" (not to be confused with either the Led Zeppelin classic or jazzman Jimmy Dorsey's 1940s big band hit), "Old Man Wise" and most of the other gems on this CD aren't unlike something you'd get from one of Seattle's alternative or grunge outfits of the 1990s. Corabi and Kulick sound like they were enjoying this unexpected direction a lot, and the result is one of 1998's strongest rock releases.
Customer Reviews
The Union:I know your name and so should everyone else!
Being (sadly) unfamiliar with even the work of Thunder until recently, the Union opened a whole new door of music for me. The unique combination of the exceptionally talented Pete Shoulder (ex Winterville) on lead vocal and guitar with Thunder’s Luke Morley is a real treat to the ears. From the gutsy rockers ‘Step up to The Plate’ ‘You Know my name’, ‘Easy Street’ to the beautifully crafted acoustic work such as ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lilies’ this album offers a great degree of originality and vivality absent from so much modern music. With routes in rock, blues and more- this album is appealing to the wider audience. Buy it, and see them live!!
A great band, good chemistry, solid tunes. Beautiful. Five Stars.
Fantastic
I couldn't agree more with the reviews on here so far this amazing to be honest is far to good for words but i'll do my best to do it justice. First things first though do not buy this album expecting it to be a Thunder sound a like album because its not! This album is a wonderful mixture of acoustic and melodic blues and rock and roll. The workmanship between Luke and Peter on this album is simply fantastic. Luke's not old by any means but he's certainly had a long career so far but working with the relatively young Peter has really bought some new life out of the old boy and I really can't wait to see them live. I have to add that the first time I heard Saviour actually bought the hairs on the back of my neck to attention and is a euphoric tune and will be (if it isn't all ready) a favourite live track.
All I can say now is you have any doubts in buying this album then hop over to their website where you can listen to the whole album streamed over the net so you can be 100% sure... JUST BUY IT!!! You won't regret it believe me!!!! The two 'Itunes' bonus tracks 'Poor Little Rich Girl' and 'Rollin' are brilliant tracks so for the last time JUST BUY IT!!!! Hope that helps. Dave
British Blooze is not dead!
A great addition to the British Blues lineage, this is arguably the best work from Luke Morley since Laughing On Judgement Day (My favourite Thunder album). The lead singer is a revelation, looks like he could be in N'Sync and yet sings like a bluesman of old, following in a long line of North East blues/hard rock singers (Burdon, Johnson etc). If you like your Blues with a side order of Free, Zeppelin and Cream, get this now
