Reviews & Discussion
BROAD SOULS is a mildly disappointing third album from Faze Action; they've gone from making great neo-disco to middling soul. "We Don't Know How" introduces us to the vocals of Andre Espeuf in a psychedelic soul session. The strings that made their first two albums wonderful are here again, but they take a back seat to the vocals. "Three Foot High" works somewhat better, perhaps because it's more stripped down -- the same goes for "Outside" (even if it steals a riff from Stevie Wonder's "Part-Time Lover"). The flute and horns of "Goodbye Remedy" still speak of Faze Action's songwriting skills, though "Walking Time" could use a little more writing and a little less looping. "Vigilante Song" and "There's No Time" bring some dusk to the album, and "God Inside" gives a dark spin to spirituality, but "Hear My Prayer" gets back to the positive side. By no means is this a poor album, but I had simply expected better.
