"Gudimov" - "Monopoly"

Paul Gudimov his first CD "Springboard" was published, the guitarist in the band "Okean Elzy". After the scandalous farewell to him in 2005 to a quality album, according to the level of the previous group, and even surpass it take, it was a question of honor for Gudimova. And I have to admit something that he drew. Compared with the unspeakably boring "springboard" new album fresh and fun to hear. The article "monopoly" on the substrate quality pop rock imposed generous brushstrokes of funk, disco, jazz-rock and hard rock almost. Musicians work carefully all the places tastefully sinkopiruyut, sad, sad songs play and have fun - fun. "Gudimov" - "Monopoly" Genre: Rock Style: Britpop, Russian rock, funk, disco, jazz, rock, alternative pop-rock, comedy rock, alternative, dance, drink, noise-pop, college rock, progressive rock, neo- prog, avant-prog. Subject: traveling, philosophy, friendship, social relationships and love. Mood: lyrical, memories, passion, indifference, envy. Hits: "Chameleon", "návesní." The album title, I think, went to the famous game "Monopoly". Group such as cubes, and then dipped into the circumstances of the game - the cave of New York, unrequited love, blooming gardens, Arizona Dreams - everything you want to talk about anything and play. Unfortunately, all this does not help, "Monopoly" game is not much of boredom and predictability. Hardly song begins, it's clear what it will end up. And it would be so bad. But Paul himself Gudimova and can not sing, so it was really interesting. It is clear that the vocals are very inferior to master the guitar. But emotions because nobody canceled. Paul hesitate to turn to sing to show the tragic side of the tragedy, it's all in the approximate gradation. In the Russian show business, also have a similar artist - Oleg Chubykin. The same approximateness singing, the same confidence as a tool. For Gudimova not compare the charismatic and powerful Vakarchuk, and anemic Chubykin. And wins on this man's background Gudimov. First of all - the relevance of the rules. The only song stand out well sung uncertain "ballads" and "militants" - ironically hundred percent hit in which the vocal slack frontman makes clear plus "Chameleon.". The next comparison - Ironic militants Eugene Margulis in "Time Machine". Here, almost recitative singing Gudimova, perky backing vocals in the background and skill downbeat harping combined into a single device. Instantly catchy ending triumph finally found harmony hit. It is clear that the group "Gudimov" internally stadium not short range (hard to imagine singing with a large crowd lines the songs of Paul), and the quiet comfort of respectable clubs. Tinkles forks clinking glasses of champagne, and on the stage - Gudimov stylish glasses softly humming a perfect accompaniment something thoughtful. But if you really want stages - worth considering ironic to topics militants. Rating: 5 out of 10. Ken Guru, a business newspaper "The View," "The Mystery of Sound".
