简介:  The veteran Michael Bolton guitarist's second jaunt into rock edged smooth jazz territory is such a smiling, carefree affair, Disneyland could use it as a soundtrack to its billing as the Happiest Place on Earth. From its explosive and relentlessly positive opening title track through the Rick Braun laced "Miles Away" and two Richard Elliot enhanced angst free jams "Beyond the Horizon" and "Smooth Sailing," (generically happy titles, yes?), Suede crackles along like a gush of summer wind, sunny all the time, with only one true moment of quiet reflection, the cool vocal ballad "Never Want To Live Without Your Love," sung capably by a BoyzIIMen type group called Vision. Individually, any given track is an absolute triumph, hooky, smartly played, a bit too reliant on machines but nevertheless easy to embrace. The problem, if one can be found? They're all so up, there's nothing to contrast them with - they start blending together. His first disc,Windows of My Soul, reflected personal emotional breakthroughs in Camozzi's life, and its delicate balance between light and dark made it a shoo-in for my Top Ten of 1996. On that one, he showed us inside his heart, while on Suede he keeps everything on the surface. A glowing surface it is, as enjoyable as a sunsplashed jog on the beach, but moment of eloquence or heartbreak in its midst would have made the experience that much richer.
