Chagall Guevara Albums

What The Critics Say

With MCA putting much of its rock promotion muscle behind metal and hard rock in the early 1990s, Chagall Guevara seemed to get lost in the shuffle. It's unfortunate, because the band showed some potential on this little-known CD. Not at all predictable, the melodic rockers have a very wide variety of direct or indirect influences -- the album makes it sound like they were listening to everyone from Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and Alice Cooper to INXS. "Murder In the Big House" has an especially Cooper-ish groove, while "Take Me Back to Love Canal" exemplifies the band's more punk-influenced side, and "Rub of Love" hints at Lou Reed. Chagall Guevara should have done a lot better commercially. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
