GARY RITCHIE: Poptimistic (Fancy Two-Tone)
Ritchie returns with his Brill Building-influence rock, filled with jangly riffs that hit the pleasure centers repeatedly, beginning with “Million Dollars,” in which Ritchie goes braggin’ on the subway to a pretty girl. Although I don’t think “I drive an Austin Healey” is gonna cut it with today’s modern woman. The songs are filled with bright, jewel-like guitar riffs. “Subtle As A Freight Train” is funny, straight and true. That freight train really comes on during the guitar solo which seems to have migrated from a metal band. Can’t you just hear the Four Seasons singing “Perfect Girl?” “Friend of Old” hits you in the gut with a sense of loss. Not for the depressed. “Carol Says” is a Modulator-like rocker, while “Lonely” suggests the Elvis Brothers. This record rocks and rumbles, shocks and humbles.
