Peter Frampton - Peter Frampton

THE BOMB

WOW !!! Great album ! The sound quailty is amazing and the entire disk is creative fresh and fun music. Guess this won't get any airplay these days LOL. I popped into a local used CD shop to get something to hear in my new car. Got really lucky this time and for only $8. Its even cheaper on CDNOW so dont hesitate if you ever liked Frampton this is his very best work. Even some bonus acoustic redo's of tracks from Frampton Comes Alive!! His new instrumental album FINGERPRINTS is excellent also. August 21, 2008

excelente

Peter Frampton suele hacer mejores discos en directo, pero este es excelente de principio a fín. Grandes músicos, varios estilos y todos tocados a la perfección. Si se quiere adquirir un disco que rezuma calidad por los cuatro costados, este es su disco.

Peter Frampton

If you have enjoyed Peter Framptons songs in the past, you will not be disappointed with this CD. One of the best studio albums that I have heard. Well produced, Peter Frampton at his best. July 5, 2008

Brilliant Album

I was going through a bad patch when this album first came out and I really related to the lyrics on quite a few of the songs like 'It All Comes Down To You' and 'Changing all the Time'.............in a strange way the lyrics and the music really helped me turn a corner and I started to climb out of the dark pit of depression......

Listening again to this wonderful album all those years later I still get some goose bumps and some tough feelings and memories return, but I will always be grateful to Peter for this album, which I think is one of his best....showcasing his brilliant and underrated guitar playing, his great voice and his mature and sensitive lyrics.....I heard somewhere that Frampton when through some tough times and I think this album was the point that he picked himself up and tried to explore his feelings through his music....maybe this is why it struck such a chord with me...

Anyway folks I really recommend this album even if you are not feeling down.....it is definitely one of my all time favourites

Cleaned-Up Clapton with some Winwood and Bowie on the Side, and of course, Peter the Great

This cd both rocks and reaches down into those sad spots in your heart that need some attention now and then. While some of the songs near the end could be improved or omitted, you certainly get your money's worth considering the number of tracks on the cd.

The compositions stay within Frampton's limitations so that he doesn't have to strain or overplay. In fact, he is a great blues guitarist, his sound much like that of Eric Clapton, but without any of Clapton's overplaying, where he trips all over himself trying to prove how good he is (was). Frampton sounds like Steve Winwood at times and some of the intensity of David Bowie is here. (Frampton toured with Bowie as lead guitarist on the Glass Spider venture in the late 80's).

My few criticisms are that some of the rock motifs sound too canned at times and, as I said before, some of the songs could have been improved or omitted because they're not up to snuff. Sometimes less is more and I think that applies here. Also, he could have employed more instruments for variety, like sax and piano. But, what a guitarist he is and his arrangements are superb in spots, as in one song where he switches from electric to acoustic guitar at the end. He has most of Clapton's depth and heart (without the clutter too), and, like Clapton, he can sing, though he's not as great a blues singer as Clapton.

Hey, why don't they do something together? July 21, 2006
