The new Paul Spencer & The Maxines album, entitled "Whatever Forever And Ever", is the sound of a band immersed in 70's AM radio rock."I Was Doing Great (Before I Met You)" and "Rite On Time" are both steeped in12-String Rickenbackers, tambourines and Beatlesque harmonies - the firstsounding like Tom Petty circa '78, while "Rite On Time" is pure Byrdsjingle-jangle folk rock. A tasteful cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" uses aMellotron to great effect, while horns give the rocker "Crash City" a Quadrophenia-era Who feel."Summer In The Spring", "Burning Up From The Inside" and "Top Of My Head, BottomOf My Soul" combine acoustic guitar, slide guitar, Fender Rhodes and strings to create a wall of sound that is very 70s - at times, it recalls some of the work of Al Stewart and Paul Simon from that decade."The Calm After The Storm" is sprinkled with psychedelia and has an Eastern-tinged bridge; Paul Opalach's backwards guitar solo is a sonic beauty and one of the record's highlights. The calypso-flavored "Double Tunnel Vision" is a light fun tune; "No Good Reason" is drenched in bluesy Americana, while the catchy "Project Serpo" manages to fuse Beach Boys-style harmonies with theremin sounds. Skillfully produced by Opalach, "Whatever Forever And Ever" is the type of album that tends to reveal its charms over repeated listens. Displaying many influences, a few of which were hinted on the EP "Either Sunset Or Sunrise", it also shows a band unafraid of experimentation.
