Pink Cream 69 released their fifth album in 1997. I know to many people this album is condemned as a grunge record; however, the truth is, this record actually has some pretty awesome melodic rock tracks on it as well. It's not my favorite PC69 record, but it's pretty awesome for the time it was released.
To be totally fair to the band, 1997 was not a great year to be making melodic rock music. Grunge was still prominent in the states, and nu-metal was just about to explode all over the world. While "Food For Thought" does sound alternative in spots (think "Better Days" & "Anger"), the choruses get lodged in your head and make it quite hard to kick them out. Dennis Ward kills it with the production job on the record, and David Readman sounds like a million bucks here as well. Tracks like "Anger," "Snap," "We Will Rock You" and "Big Shot" are killers, but sadly there is a small amount of filler here as well. But again, for the time period of the record, it's quite remarkable for a melodic rock band.
Would I say "Food For Thought" is required listening for PC69 fans? Well, maybe not. But this album sure has some damn fine tunes on it.
First of all, let me get this straight, once and for all: This is NOT a Metal album. I bought it expecting it to be such, and was met with a disappointment upon finding that vocalist David Readman and the boys had written a grunge album. Still, in many ways, it was a pleasant surprise, because it actually qualifies as a decent grunge album. The majority of the songs don't sound all that pop-targeted (not any more so than other early-'90s grunge acts, that is,) meaning that you'll find very little Creed-esque "pop-grunge" in this album. In addition to tons of standard grunge riffs which sound like they could have been plucked from any Soundgarden album, Readman's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to Alice in Chains' Layne Staley. Strong points include the mid-tempo opener "SNAP" (which is about the fastest song on the album); the energetic and angsty "Dead Man's Scream"; the dark, AIC-influenced "Other Side"; and an innovative cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You", which takes the standard 'boom-boom-clap' beat of the original song and fills in the gaps with Alfred Koffler's excellent guitar playing. The album has a lot of weak points too, however, for a lot of the songs are slow and acoustic, sounding more like filler. All in all, there are maybe 8 or 9 worthwhile songs out of the 15 total. Therefore, though it's no "Superunknown" or "In Utero", Pink Cream 69's "Food for Thought" offers a lot of decent, old-school grunge. I still can't help but feel let down, however, since I was expecting some classic PC69 heavy metal. If you really want to listen to the band at their absolute best, check out one of their earlier albums which feature vocalist Andi Deris before he left to join Helloween. I would recommend starting with "One Size Fits All."
