Our Take

McGear, the lesser-known half-brother of a certain music legend, has resurfaced with a remastered edition of his eponymous album, "McGear." And let me tell you, this album is a trip down memory lane that's worth taking.

From the get-go, you can tell that McGear is not content to rest on his laurels. With his quirky, off-kilter songwriting and infectious enthusiasm, he delivers a collection of tracks that are as delightfully eccentric as they are irresistibly catchy.

The production on this remastered edition is top-notch, breathing new life into classic tracks like "Sea Breezes" and "Leave It," while also showcasing previously unheard gems like "The Casket" and "Rainbow Lady." McGear's distinctive vocals soar over lush arrangements, creating a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and fresh.

But what really sets this album apart is its sense of fun. McGear's playful lyrics and whimsical melodies invite listeners to let loose and enjoy the ride. It's impossible not to smile when listening to tracks like "Simply Love You" and "The Man Who Found God on the Moon," which blend infectious hooks with a touch of irreverence.

In a music landscape dominated by slick production and formulaic songwriting, McGear's "McGear" is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that music doesn't have to take itself too seriously to be great. So do yourself a favour and give this remastered edition a spin. You won't regret it.
