Thoughts

The Righteous Brothers are iconic for their voices and the wonderful deep melodies on display in classics like Unchained Melody. I was expecting a full album of this sombre but mellow tone but it was actually a lot more playful than I’d thought. There were some jazz experimentations in there, and one song that had a whole skit layered through it which was not necessarily to my taste. (Also hasn’t aged well Phil Spector-wise.)

Rating: 3 / 5
