Home
Home, the latest CD from the Corrs, arrived this morning.If In Blue accentuated the pop side of their music, then Home goes in the opposite direction, resulting in an album that is comprised almost entirely of traditional (i.e. Irish) songs. As a result, some of it sounds a bit twee, but comparing the overall ratings of the two albums, it's fairly obvious which I prefer. At its best, Home represents a return to what made their first CD, Forgiven, Not Forgotten, so great. The dreaded autotune seems to be gone, the music is layered without sounding over-produced... My one major criticism of this album is that Caroline Corr isn't drumming any more (she still provides backing vocals and the bodhrán, though), which means that on many of the songs, the beat sound different from usual (not bad, just not the same). It's a matter of personal taste, of course.
8/10
