iTunes Review
For solo album number two, 2008’s Como Te Llama (Spanish for “What’s Your Name?”), Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. booked five weeks at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in NYC and churned out these thirteen tracks with his elastic backing group adding just the right amount of instrumental flourish. Hammond isn’t always the most confident singer. He leads well over the tight ‘70s guitar riffs of “The Boss Americana” but in select spots he’s likely to hide behind different phasings and reverb and to send the guitars and keyboards to the forefront to do his bidding for him, creating subliminal pop in the process. “Rocket” is strong and tuneful, balancing Hammond’s laid-back vocals with hyper agitated guitar. “Lisa” skewers from a bare-bones reggae-garage groove into sudden bursts of colorful keyboards and electric guitars that carry the melody for him. “GfC” breaks out into a bracing chorus where Hammond sounds like a pop star from the AM radio of the 1970s who’s accidentally stumbled upon a punk group.
Customer Reviews
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Albert Hammond Jr.
Albert Hammond Jr.(of Strokes fame) has once again been able crank out another release before another strokes album. I know. We all miss the smooth sound of the Strokes and wish that they would get back together to make some new stuff and work their indie magic. But in the meantime you can wet your appetite with como te llama. If any of you have listened to Yours to Keep(his first solo album, highly recommended) then you would agree with me that this album is a little different than the first. When GfC first came out as a single, it was a little different( I guess I was expecting another yours to keep?) than I expected. But I bit my tongue and when I heard Bargain of a Century I was relieved to find that any fears were unfounded and was treated to a pleasant suprise of an album. Rolling Stone only gave it 3 stars, definitely a solid 5 STARS.
simply amazing
Just when you think you know where a song is going it completely suprises you with a different element to it and pulls you in even more. Great album...no sophmore slump here...all is good...no all is great
Almost
Still an album to buy, based on its prescience. The pared-down sound of the first album, Yours to Keep, is a sense behind Como Te Llama?, but Hammond has also incorporated a lot of The Strokes sensibility. I think the third album will convey the entire evolution. This album may not be fully cooked. I still like it, but the band should have the courage to see the direction through to its fruition rather than rely on tried and true. If the combination of what they've created and the new direction I hear underneath are realized, the next album will be nothing shy of phenomenal. I feel they played down the unique on this, though; They pushed it for time, perhaps. Still worth the money, nice to anticipate the direction - a preview of which I would never have guessed had I not heard this album.
