Search - Kim Mitchell :: Aural Fixations

Back to Basics Rock & Roll

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Kim returned to his simple hard-driving rock of the mid-80's with Aural Fixations (E.G. World's Such A Wonder, Dog and A Bone, and Big Smoke). There are also some great ballads (Flames and Dreamer, in particular). There are a few duds on this record (Some Folks, There's A Story, which sounds too much like Extreme's Get the Funk out). but it's still worth a listen."

My favorite Kim Mitchell solo release

"I would rate this as Kim's all-around best post-Max Webster album. His others each have several outstanding songs, but this is the only one that's great from start to finish. (Actually his self-titled EP with "Tennessee Water," "Kids In Action," and "Chain Of Events" on it is his best solo work, but that's not a full-length album.) I hope he does a concert video and/or music vid compilation tape sometime - or maybe a Max concert video, for old time's sake..."
