Sweet - Desolation Boulevard CDs • Vinyl Records • LPs • Music Albums Sweet - Desolation Boulevard Sweet Desolation Boulevard     Sweet's knack for merging hard rock, glam and straight-up sing-along pop music into one airwave takeover after another was never stronger than on this 1974 classic. They gave us "Ballroom Blitz," "The 6-Teens" and the first 15 seconds of "Fox On the Run," not to mention the rest of it, amid better "filler" than most bands' singles. The first side of Desolation Boulevard (actually a compilation from two English LPs) is devoted to material written by producers Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn—five reasonably timed, concise and overwhelmingly direct assaults on the senses. The song structures are played with almost military precision with an emphasis on repeated guitar riffs Read More and catchy hook lines. The production is designed to capture the electricity and raw energy of live performances, succeeding quite well in conveying a sense of explosive immediacy during the proceedings. The lyric content mimics some of Peter Townshend's finest mid-Sixties moments, displaying a remarkable lack of self-consciousness during humorous numbers like "A.C.D.C." (the story of a bisexual girlfriend) and "I Wanna Be Committed." The effect is not unlike The Who Sings "My Generation" recorded on sophisticated Seventies machinery. Side two is devoted to the Sweet's own compositions, reinforcing their tag of "a bubblegum Led Zeppelin." Guitarist Andy Scott is given much more freedom in the band's lengthier, more experimental format, bending his axe into bizarre contortions à la the Yardbirds-era Jeff Beck on "Sweet F. A.," rifling out submachine-gun riffs on "Set Me Free" and using intervals to create a full, forceful and effective solo on "Into the Night." Were the Yardbirds alive today with no change in their musical direction, I'm almost certain this side of Desolation Boulevard is what they'd sound like. The Sweet has combined two divergent musical styles—the tight, restricted control of Chapman and Chinn and the guitar-based experimentalism of their own compositions—into an explosive package. Desolation Boulevard is decidedly English in tone, decidedly hard rock in approach, and to these ears a decided success from a band with a future a mile long.
