Let me tell you, dear readers, this album by Blood, Sweat & Tears is a rollercoaster of a ride.
Titled "What The Hell Happened To Blood.
Sweat & Tears?," this original soundtrack for RSD 2023 is a puzzling mix of genres and emotions that leave you scratching your head in bewilderment.
The opening track, "Confusion in C Minor," sets the tone for the album with its jarring mixture of jazz, rock, and folk influences all thrown together in a melting pot of musical chaos.
It's as if the band couldn't decide which direction to take and ended up going in every direction at once.
Tracks like "Funkadelic Fusion" and "Soulful Serenade" showcase the band's undeniable talent and musicianship, but ultimately get lost in a sea of disjointed ideas and lacklustre production.
It's a shame, really, because there are moments of brilliance buried beneath the cluttered surface.
The standout track, "What Are We Even Doing Here Anyway?," is a poignant reflection on the state of modern music and the band's own identity crisis.
It's a bold move to be so self-referential, but it pays off in this instance.
Overall, "What The Hell Happened To Blood.
Sweat & Tears?" is a confusing and often frustrating listening experience.
While there are flashes of brilliance scattered throughout, the album as a whole feels like a missed opportunity.
Blood, Sweat & Tears may have lost their way, but let's hope they find their path again soon.
