ALBUM

Somewhere in the three-year period between albums, the lads in the Philosopher Kings got the idea that slick, innuendo-heavy funk was their strong suit. The resulting album repudiates everything that made their first album such a joy to listen to. The jazz influence is almost totally gone, leaving the band sounding like the Style Council with ants in their pants. That's not to say that Famous, Rich and Beautiful is a bad album, as the playing is still first-rate. However, the immersion into retro slick funk just seems like an incredibly calculated maneuver, especially after such a promising debut.
