Comments:
The second in a loose trilogy of late-'70s LPs, 1979's The Music Band 2
picks up where The Music Band left off, filling the empty spaces with a
light jazz-funk that's a long, long way from the masterful
early-/mid-'70s grooves that War are renowned for. But although critics
resoundingly hammered it, the album crept into the R&B Top 40 at the end
of the year, allowing the band to limp into a new, and hopefully more
promising, decade. Unfortunately, though, there's not much here to
recommend The Music Band 2. It's competent, it's slick, but it just isn't
very interesting. Of the two minor hit singles spawned by the album, one
is vaguely memorable ù "Don't Take It Away" took the band into lite disco
waters and does have some interesting vocal work behind it.
Unfortunately, "I'll Be Around" is nothing more than a benevolently
smooth ballad, with sax solo and not much else. Elsewhere, War reinvented
their late-1972 hit "The World Is a Ghetto" into a new, 13-plus minute
instrumental riffer that stripped any lingering goodness from the
original, and only the closing title track, with its remarkably punchy
Latin-tinged jazz/disco, is even slightly interesting. War is a far finer
funk band than this album would have you believe. Stick to the classics
with which they gifted the scene in both their early, and, surprisingly,
occasional late-era material, and overlook this self-indulgent mid-period
morass altogether.
The ripper missed this cat# too...
