ALBUM

At their best, Hiroshima have offered an adventurous and even visionary fusion of jazz, Japanese music, R&B, pop, and rock. But sadly, the L.A. band has, since the mid-'80s, failed to live up to its enormous potential and has made albums based on commercial considerations more than artistic ones. On East, Hiroshima focus on both Asian-influenced pop-jazz and lightweight R&B-pop, generally making commercial radio airplay their number one goal, taking few risks, and delivering one of their weakest, most boring albums ever. While the insistent "Midtown Higashi" packs a bit of a punch and demonstrates their strength as composers, most of the other new age-ish instrumentals are nothing more than bloodless, shallow elevator music. And the contrived "urban contemporary" tunes aren't much better. ~ Alex Henderson
