Want

Greatest Hits Volume 5

BY Sean PalmerstonPublished Nov 1, 2000

Apparently no one has decided to tell the Want their name actually is not Humble Pie and that the year isn't 1971. If they did, it might be a huge mistake anyway, since this is one on the ball quartet. Vocalist Kenneth Leer sounds like Steve Marriott's illegitimate son and his mannerisms are so close to the great Small Faces/Humble Pie singer that I would swear it was him reborn. The rest of the band isn't half bad either. Led by the slash and burn guitar heroics of Adam Valk, the quartet rips through 11 tracks that, depending on your love of classic riff rock, will either rock your world or make you shrug in disgust.
