Boston Globe Review of Blaster (positive)

[Jim The Stimulator]

The apparent patron saint here, though, is Marc Bolan: The slinky “Way She Moves” has a T-Rex flair, and the album’s only cover is that band’s “20th Century Boy.” Missteps like “Parachute” and the too-screechy “Youth Quake” (which at this point could be renamed “Middle-Aged Quake”) are rare, and Weiland, who credits his new wife as “inspiration and muse,” is obviously recharged. If this derivative album shows that he’s not reinventing the wheel, at least the wheel is still rolling.

TOO SCREECHY?! Blister On My Soul is too screechy, Youth Quake is awesome.

Youth Quake is sweet tune. Youth Quake really pumps me up when I'm blasting it.


Though I'm liking the fact most reviews are at least moderately positive. I'm hoping that everybody finds something to dig on Blaster, and the album charts at least moderately well. Give the band at least something to be happy about in this black week....
