TROUBLE

SIMPLE MIND CONDITION

2007

REVIEW BY BLAKE


Review:   

      Chicago's Trouble finally back with a new release. It has been 12 years since their last one PLASTIC GREEN HEAD. The 7th studio release which was originally gonna be titled SEVEN. Which is the title of the lead track. This is without a doubt a TROUBLE album. Not as heavy as MANIC FRUSTRATION but with the same sort of feel and sound overall as the last 2. Some might be disappointed thinking since they took so long to make this that its gonna blow previous releases away but nothing will top MANIC FRUSTRATION but its also not a disppointment to me. The same 70's kinda metal groove in place on rockers like MINDBENDER, TROUBLE MAKER and the title track. The typical TROUBLE ballads with AFTER THE RAIN and BEGINNINGS OF SORROWS. Again nothing really new from the guys but a worthy release in the TROUBLE catalogue.

Fav Cuts:   Goin Home, Mindbender, Trouble Maker
