Review:'Maddon, Jimmy' 'Make Love (Inside Your Bed)'
- Genre: 'Rock'
Our Rating:
There’s a lot going on here. At it’s heart, it’s a rollocking punk tune, with a gritty guitar chopping away over a four—square drum beat.
But the bass! It keeps going off on crazy runs in double-time. Sometimes, it doesn’t even sound in time, as it lollops away wildly.
And the vocals! Maddon lurches from a fairly middling punky sneer to something altogether more theatrical.
And then there are the backing vocals! Well, they’re not exactly backing vocals, as a chorus line singing a counterpoint to the main vocal.
It probably sounds a bit mad when picked apart like that – but then, it genuinely sounds a bit mad when all assembled, too, and the result of that assembly is something bombastic, joyous, and more than a shade Rocky Horror. Maddon’s clearly having a ball, and rightly so, because it’s focus is unashamedly on fun.
