GRAND FUNK
all the girls in the world Beware!!!
"Energetically performed, pushing the band's sound in interesting new directions."
all the girls in the world Beware!!! is Grand Funk's ninth studio album. The 1974 album was the group's second album released that year. All but two of the songs on the album were written by members of the band. Grand Funk continued to move further into the pop/rock mainstream with this hit album.
First there was the heavy metal power trio, then the powerful hard rock quartet and
after years of loud, in-your-face rock albums and tours, Mark Farner, Don Brewer, Mel
Schacher and Craig Frost went into the studio and made an album that has a lot more
rhythm and soul and a lot less rock than ever before and way ahead of its time.
The album's combination of high-gloss production and the band's energy resulted in some impressive hits: "Some Kind of Wonderful" is an exuberant, organ-drenched soul song that highlights the group's strong harmonies while "Bad Time" mixes a delicate, string-laden melody with a pulsing beat from the rhythm section to create a one-of-a-kind power ballad. all the girls in the world Beware!!! has many inventive moments. The seven-minute "Good & Evil" is fascinating for Brewer's strange, processed lead vocal. "Look At Granny Run Run" is sheer, goofy fun and "Memories" is a serious stab at out-and-out balladry.
Definitely appeals to any GFR fan who enjoyed We're an American Band or Shinin' On.
