Human Nature : Walk The Tightrope

by Tim Cashmere

Human Nature are talented. There is no doubt about that. A Human Nature album is going to be littered with great vocal harmonization and some of the most purely recorded vocals available and this one is no different, it's just a bummer about the songs.

That's right, the songs. A Human Nature album is also quite a cliché. Having said that, the reason to buy a Human Nature album isn't so much because of their tacky versions of songs like Mr. Big's 'To Be With You' or the Darren Hayes written 'When You Say You Love Me' (originally recorded by Clay Aiken, runner up of American Idol's second series).

Still, there are decent original pop tunes on here, including the opener 'Walk The Tightrope', 'Haunted' and 'Life Just Gets Better' and who can argue with the fact that they're Australia's highest selling vocal group?

Andrew Tierney of the group said on the band's website "With this record, we wanted to take a bit of a chance, do things we haven't done before. Break the Human Nature mould." Well, they haven't exactly pushed the boundaries of artistic endeavor, but they have once again laid down some magnificent vocals backed by some of the world's top production. The fans will dig it!
