This review is from: The Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I'm almost 50 and I still haven't heard many albums better than this one. 10cc in their heyday were unsurpassed in creative, experimental rock songwriting. The beauty of their vocals, the skill of their musicianship, the wry of their wit, the edge of their rock, the sadness of their melancholy, the adventure of their extended theatrical pieces, all add up to some pure creative musical genius. And The Original Sountrack exemplifies this more than anything else they've done. I really can't even consider 10cc the same band after Lol Creme and Kevin Godley left, when they devolved into a "clever" Top 40 pop band. One listen to L or Freeze Frame and you'll see what I'm talking about. Those two put the art into art rock. Gouldman and Stewart were both talented songwriters in their own right, but Godley/Creme made 10cc the unique band that they were. How Dare You is a fine follow-up to this CD, but I always felt it a bit too slick, not as daring or unpredictable, and not even close to approaching the seering rock of "Second Sitting for the Last Supper" or the brash whimsy of "Une Nuit a Paris." Sadly, no one has supplanted 10cc in the past 20 years. I still go back to The Original Soundtrack when I want to hear something original, and it still gets my blood pumping, after all these years.
