 Marc Bureau, Minnesota North Stars, 1991 Bowman Autographed Card $6.00 Marc Bureau Autographed 1991 Bowman Card - Comes with a Certficate of Authenticity from Autograph-Cards  Weary and Wired $16.98 Several years after the magnificent It's About Time, this album is unfortunately a letdown. Marc chooses to move away from the songwriting and positive energy that filled It's About Time to more soloing and a heavier/muddier sound. The songs on It's About Time were reflective and/or positive, but here we get mostly simple, negative rock lyrics. Some of the songs don't seem finished or well written enough either, as if they're just an excuse to jam. This leaning doesn't work as the band as a unit sounds flat and ordinary. There is some good guitar playing of course, as well as Marc's underrated voice. Smoke Signals is a standout track and The Other Side and Currents impress. But the album is too full of songs that sound like any guitarist laying down some heavy riffs and singing about Dirty Girl and Don't Come Around. We've heard it all before. Marc shouldn't have to remake It's About Time, and it's hard to say if commercial success was aimed at here, but there isn't enough here to separate Weary and Wired from any number of other decent singer/guitar records around.  Hidden Agenda $14.98 This movie got some good reviews and I expected it to be a return to form for Dolph Lundgren. Instead, I found this to be his worst movie. The script is more or less completely incoherent. I lost interest within a couple of minutes and found myself checking my watch, hoping the movie would end soon. I wouldn't recommend this movie even to Dolph Lundgren fans. I am a fan but I wish I had spent my time watching something else. |
