Review by jadedtom Jul 24, 2010 (edited about 1 year ago)

referencing Blood, Sweat And Tears, LP, Album, 2-E, CS 9720

I found this collection "artsy-fartsy" and it ushered in, along with the group Chicago, a distinctly unhip fusion of jazz horns mixed with what is supposed to be rock and roll or pop or whatever. There is a datedness to Blood, Sweat and Tears and Chicago. (With Chicago, it's not only datedness but dorkiness.)
Obviously, Clayton-Thomas had stronger vocals than Al Kooper (who established B,S and T, and was their first lead singer), but the man always sounds constipated.
"You've Made Me So Very Happy", "Spinning Wheel" are overplayed as much as "Saturday In the Park" by Chicago. It is cretinous ear candy, for all of its artistic pretentions. I don't need to hear ANY of the Chicago catalog, it's all so much drivel. And the best thing Blood, Sweat and Tears ever did was "I Can't Quit Her" from the band's first lp, replete with the weak vocals of Al Kooper.
What is it with these white boys playing horns? They sound like John Philips Sousa. These clowns need some lessons from the blowers at Stax. Sheeeeeeesh....
