On HA's Music tab of the official website, many of his album reviews are from AllMusic. I get that a review is a person's opinion. But upon reading the review of "Summertime," after favorably highlighting: Jerusalem, Strike Up The Band, Summertime, and The Nicest Things Happen, the reviewer writes:
"Otherwise, most of the tracks on this LP lack energy, and even vigorous arrangements like that of the Beach Boys‘ “Darlin'” drift off distractedly into the ozone. Clearly, Alpert wasn’t quite ready to re-emerge full-blown into the performing world."
Was Herb distracted so that his trumpet went into the ozone on Darlin'? Does anyone feel that any of the other tracks lack energy?
Spoiler alert: I don't.
