Our Take

Ah, Ace Frehley, the legendary spaceman of rock, is back with his latest tribute album, "Origins Vol. 2." This sequel sees the former KISS guitarist delving deeper into his musical influences, delivering a collection of covers that range from classic rock to blues to glam metal. But does this album soar to new heights or crash back down to Earth? Let's take a closer look.

From the opening track, a blistering rendition of The Beatles' "I'm Down," it's clear that Frehley hasn't lost his touch. His signature guitar work shines on each track, giving these well-known songs a fresh and exciting twist. The standout moments come when Frehley puts his own spin on iconic tracks like The Kinks' "Lola" and Cream's "Politician," injecting his own brand of swagger and attitude.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Origins Vol. 2." Some tracks, like "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple, feel a bit too safe and by-the-numbers. And while Frehley's vocals have a certain charm, they can also feel a bit rough around the edges at times.

Overall, "Origins Vol. 2" is a fun and nostalgic ride through rock history, with Frehley paying homage to his musical heroes in his own unique way. While it may not reach the heights of his past work, it's still a solid addition to his discography. So crank up the volume and let Ace take you on a journey through the classics.
