In what promises to be a lively interview, Adam Lambert discusses the unreleased Muse track “Soaked,” which he covers on his (ironically titled?) debut For Your Entertainment.
Listen to the Muse version below. I simply can’t post anything from Adam Lambert’s album. It is so overproduced and overmixed and overhydrated that it begins to sound exactly the same way a video game looks. I was a fan during his run on American Idol, and believed the comparisons to Matthew Bellamy to be fair. Both have a cocky, high-flying, and acrobatic vocal style, and both straddle the fence between delicate and brash. So Lambert’s performance of “Starlight” made sense, as did this cover:
“Soaked” is a slightly odd Muse track, to be sure. But For Your Entertainment is hands-down the disappointment of the year. We were expecting glam metal wrapped in progressive rock. But what we got was a Britney wrapped in a Justin.
