When you buy a Gillan album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Thom Yorke has compared writing for Gillan’s new album to that on ‘Mr. Universe’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Mr. Universe carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This is what good Rock: Hard-Rock should be.
Secret of the Dance - Gillan first major hit. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Gillan is one of artists that allow his songs like Roller to stand on their own and be heard. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Vengeance as a highlight of Mr. Universe contains a ton of exquisite melodies. A fantastic track full of wonder. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Message in a Bottle gives taste of what makes Gillan special as a musician. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. I loved On the Rocks the first time I heard it. You can find feelings on this piece of art. This track is full of harmonies and gets Mr. Universe off to a relaxing start. Vengeance - A strong beat. Smoke on the Water is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Lucille is the funkiest number on the album.
