Product Description
A living legend- Glenn Hughes is best know from his days as the singer and bassist for Deep Purple. On F.U.N.K. Glenn deftly Combines his 2 passions, Soul and Rock for an incendiary sound that can be matched by no other. Joined on this CD by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith Glen once again reminds us why he is considered by many to be one of rock musics greatest singers.

1 out of 5 stars This album sucks.   January 14, 2010

I love Hughes, and have enjoyed his latest albums. Soul Mover was awesome, Music For The Divine was decent and this one is just a load. The songs sound too much like radio friendly garbage with amazing vocals. Sorry Glenn but not even your awesome vocals can save this mess.

This album is fantastic. This was the soundtrack to my summer of 2008. I haven't listened to it in awhile, so I won't attempt a complete review, but it is a great album.

I believe this CD is my all time favorite Glenn Hughes, plus it had Chad Smith on drums.


4 out of 5 stars The whole rock feel is getting watered down by a more R & B oriented sound   September 3, 2009

The Good
"Crave" has a funky guitar lick introduction that is repeated throughout the track. Hughes brings the soul with his unique vocals. Despite it's overly drawn-out title, "First Nuclear Underground Kitchen" has quite the infectious groove. Hughes unleashes all of his heart, soul, and blues on "Love Communion." A little brass section adds to the already funked-up rhythms. "Imperfection" slows things down and focuses on the melody and soul of Glenn's high-end vocals. "Never Say Never" relies heavily on a thick bass line and enduring vocals. "Too Late to Save the World" mixes subtle rhythms with high-octane ones for one hell of a ride.

The Bad
Honestly, this has to be the worst album title ever. The album cover lacks of effort. It seems Hughes is heading more down an R & B path on this one.

The Verdict
I knew it would be tough for Hughes to follow Music for the Divine. That album was flawless. In that review I said that Glenn gets better and better with each album. However, with F.U.N.K. I think he may have taken a step back. Don't misunderstand me, Hughes performance is great. It's full of soul, power, and melody. It's just that the whole rock feel is getting watered down by a more R & B oriented sound. Not that it doesn't work for him, it just doesn't work for this rock fan.
