Incredibly cocky guy!
Perhaps you should have left that on Facebook!  |
Maybe there could have been a slightly longer gap between the albums coming out, but - and I have made no secret of how much I love Braver and Meat - I don't have a problem with Tyce calling himself the next interpreter of Jim's work. I've heard the samples and am really looking forward to that album too.
In the end, we know that Braver is Meat's last album, and Hero is the first album of all Jim songs by another artist since...?...Bonnie? Discounting the likes of Whistle Down The Wind/Tanz cast and concept albums. So he is bringing new blood to Steinman's songs, following the departure of the master. The next interpreter following Pandora's Box, Bonnie, The Dream Engine (who I would have really liked to have heard an album from), who could all have been called the same thing. He's just saying he's next...not the best or better than anyone else. So I see this as all good for fans of Steinman and those of Meat who didn't like the production of the Dead Ringer album (I'm thinking I'll Kill you If You Don't Come Back over Gonna Love Her For Both of Us). Will see how it all pans out next month.
