Curve - Come Clean  Print E-mail

Come Clean,
Universal Records
| Performance 5.5 | Sound 6.5 |

When I went to the register with my new Curve CD in hand, the Elvis impersonator-checkout guy informed me that "Curve's been doing the Garbage thing way before Garbage was even thought of."

With that in mind I went home to audition Come Clean, the new highly recommended, record from Curve. In the car, I was impressed. The instrumentals were hot, the production was happening and the CD had some serious potential. When I got it home and had the chance to spin through the record five or six times, I became disturbed by something about the record.

It was the vocals. They simply suck. "Chinese Burn," the first cut, is a scorching track that unfortunately punished me with the most atonal singing I have heard from a rock act in years. While Garbage's Version 2.0 has grown on me over time, Curve's Come Clean has lost much of its appeal. Curve is a band that could be really happening, but on Come Clean they just fall short.
