Add your review here. Not much beyond Vito tracks Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 2nd, 2005 The thing that really hurts this album is it's persistence in using mechanical sounding electronic synth based arrangements stealing most of the emotion these tracks may have had to offer. Rick Vito plays useful chiming acoustic guitar picks on the album's best song, the yearning "Something sad". He also plays the fuzzy slide solo on "Down by the river" but the track tries to be a tough soul song which doesn't work. The opening title track is a synth bouncer that has a main riff I found very similar to T. Rex's "Get it on (Bang a gong)". "Was it just the moonlight" is a tapping stomp with that electric pulse, "In Roxy's eyes" is a plinky acoustic guitar, clave & electric piano featured ballad which is one of the better tracks though it is still missing something. "Let me go" is too synthy to be the gutsy rocker it's obviously trying to be, "Perfect strangers" is more upish mechanical sounding pulse, "All I want to do" is a fair acoustic strummer with good vocal overlays, "Tonight" is an up beat pepper (which isn't as electronic sounding as many of the others but the problem here is that the song doesn't have a great hook) and "For the children" is a swaying slow acoustic strum with nice keys moans which makes for an OK closer but the only track to make any real impression here is "Something sad" and even then, I understand that this may have been one of the singles from this album so it may not even be a surprise to find on getting this album for those that are already familiar with this song. Well Timothy, you did ask for the truth after all.
