"Evil Urges" (14 tracks, 55 min.) plays like a 3 part musical drama.
The first 4 tracks find Jim James and his band continuing
the exploratory
themes of "Z", with
the excellent title track, but also in particular "Highly Suspicious", which reminds of Prince of all people, and a thrilling "I'm Amazed".
The middle section of
the album retreats to more "traditional" MMJ, with pensive tracks such as
the beautiful acoustic "Librarian" which Jim James finds lamenting for a love-wanna.
The last third of
the album, though, is where
the real pay-off comes, starting with a hard charging (and sing-along) "Aluminum Park", and peaking with
the 13 min. mini-suite of "Smookin From Shootin" and "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pt.2", as mesmerizing as anything MMJ has done.
