Mike Meltzer | The Big Go-'Round
CD, TMOP
Tekst: Maurice Dielemans
Publicatiedatum: 27 december 2000
Mike Meltzer is clearly a singer/songwriter. He sings about trains, damn blue skies, and Jesus Christ our saviour, but that's about it.
Like most singer/songwriters, he recycled the good old music of the past, but unfortunately there is no spark and no soul to it. Though you'll hear some decent melodies in songs like 'After the Darkness' and 'Oh, Well', there are no standout tracks. He also gets a little help from his friends such as Peter Case, Syd Straw, and some others, but the biggest problem remains his weak songwriting.
Lyrically, it's all very dull. Mike Meltzer seems like a nice guy to me, but I can't think of a reason to go out and buy his album. As a singer/songwriter, Mike Meltzer has nothing to say. Still, he keeps on repeating himself, like in that song called 'Go Away'. This is the kind of music you listen to when you are 40-something and nothing really happened in your life. As a debut album, it's not impressive at all.
