Quote
Though the soundtrack for Death Wish 2 may
not sound like an interesting record on the surface, it is actually a
significant release for any number of reasons. For one thing, it was the
first album that Jimmy Page recorded and released after the breakup of
Led Zeppelin, and the album serves as a fascinating transition from
Zeppelin's final studio release, In Through the out Door, to the work
Page would do with his ill-fated supergroup the Firm. In addition to
containing Page's work with a full orchestra, there are several pieces
that showcase his well-established ability to create eerie, unnerving
guitar and synthesizer lines, mainly to serve as accompaniment to the
film. Page also delivers three fully composed rock songs, "Who's to
Blame," "Hypnotizing Ways," and "City Sirens." The songs are
appropriately creepy and foreboding, and his playing is just as
impressive as it was in the Zeppelin era, but they also showcase the one
weakness of the album, which is that Page has chosen fairly uninspired
collaborators here. Drummer Dave Mattacks and bassist Dave Paton are
competent enough, but neither one threatens to overshadow or even push
Page (as John Paul Jones and John Bonham would have), and he turns in
sometimes lackluster performances because of it. The real clincher,
though, is singer Chris Farlowe, who delivers what has to be the most
embarrassing ham-fisted blues singing ever heard on record, and his
deep-voiced histrionics destroy whatever mood Page hoped to create with
the music. (Thankfully, he ruins only two songs.) Still, though this is
hardly the place for Page neophytes to begin, listeners interested in
discovering a new, interesting side of him should seek this out.
