Adam Franklin - Bolts of Melody: D

The singer/guitarist from the under-appreciated Swervedriver delivers a solo album. Upon several listens, the seeds of that classic Swervedriver sound is there. Unfortunately, it just doesn't deliver. The songs are thin and meandering. They lack the hooks of his former band but also the depth. There are a few worthy songs such as "Seize the Day" and the great instrumental "Theme From LSD". But mostly Adam provides the seeds to what should be greater songs if only he had a more capable collaboration of musicians.
