Description of Break Like the Wind:
Has there ever been a rock band more unjustly maligned than Spinal Tap? Accused of everything from heralding the demise of heavy metal to being the very raison d'être for alternative rock, they suffered their greatest indignity at the hands of director Rob Reiner (cowardly hiding behind the moniker Marty DiBergi), whose 1984 "rockumentary," This Is Spinal Tap, muckraked its way through the band's courageous, tragedy-strewn history in service of a few mocking laughs. Reiner/DiBergi even stooped so low as to employ a heartless, mercenary band of Hollywood writer/comedians to burlesque the band's core members--David St. Hubbins (played by mendacious Michael McKean), Nigel Tufnel (callow Christopher Guest), and Derek Smalls (haughty Harry Shearer). But the great ones just won't be denied; Spinal Tap reached deep down in 1992 and let loose with Break Like the Wind, another potent blast of the very stuff that made their legend. Featuring an all-star supporting cast (the title track alone boasts Slash, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani, and Tufnel look-alike Jeff Beck), the Tap gallantly tried to stem the tide of flannel and tattoos with thundering odes to gender enlightenment ("Bitch School"), mystic quests ("Clam Caravan"), and its own glorious rock-fest legacy ("Stinkin' Up the Great Outdoors"). Pop diva Cher and St. Hubbins share a vocal tryst on the uplifting ballad "Just Begin Again," while even Steely Dan's reclusive Walter Becker pens technical notes, praising the album's pioneering use of the Crosley Phase Linear Ionic Induction Voice Processor System. Sadly, they just don't make albums like this anymore. --J.D. Swift

Break Like the Wind Reviews:
Better tham just a joke!

A cataclysmic of the Mind
2007-10-10 - The greatest band of all time products the greatest album of all time!
Break like the wind is a transgenic odyssey of musical integrity.

A music have for any true fan of music

Better than most "real" heavy metal
2007-05-29 - It's hard to believe that these guys are not professional musicians and that they don't make a living from music. For a "parody" or "spoof" album, this is great music in it's own right. I listen to it first because it's funny, but I listen to it again because it's great stuff. The haunting title track is awesome, and tracks like "Rainy Day Sun" sounds like it was written by the Beatles. Like the first album the rhyming lyrics are purposefully contrived and are a chuckle at first listen, especially in "The Majesty of Rock" ("together and ever"). And the band's breadth of styles highlights the versatility of this extremely talented group of "musicians."
