Gilders new album a rip-off f sxiraP
By Chris McCubbin
Staff Reporter
I remember 1978, the beginning of
my junior year of high school. I was
already living in a dorm then, but that's
a long stoiy. I remember the boys rush
ing down the hall to try for a hot shower
at 7:30 a.m. cranking out rock 'n' roll
songs in their various adolescent tre
molos. The song most often croaked by
high school boys that fall was "Hot
Child In The City," by Nick Gilder.
Record Review
Gilder has a new album out now. It's
called simply "Nick Gilder." It's his
first new album in five years, and it
contains no song even remotely like
"Hot Child In The City." Gilder is to be
commended for the courage he shows
in not ripping off his one previous
commercial success, but since he steals
shamelessly from practically every other
"power pop" band in existence, it
seems a wasted gesture. Almost all the
songs on this album sound in some way
like a song done before by someone
else.

Who, specifically. Hops
from on this album?
"Scream Of Angels" sound like Meat
loaf. "Footsteps" sounds like Bryan
Adams.
"Let Me In" sounds like Steve Perry.
The album cover proudly proclaims
'Let Me In." So what? Is there a video
out or something?
"Fingerprints" sounds like "The
Warrior" by Scandal. Actually, since
Gilder co-wrote "The Warrior" with
Holly Knight, I suppose it's okay for
him to use the rip-off version on his own
album.
"Miles to Go" sounds like a poem by
Robert Frost, a 20th century American
poet.
"Waterfront" sounds like Tony Carey,
but this song has none of the fascinat
ing characters that make Carey's music
special.
"Rebel," sounds like "He's a Rebel,"
by The Crystals, the 1960s women's
group.
"Nowhere to Run" sounds like
nobody, really. This is the album's best
cut. It's a "school sucks" anthem with
a surf-guitar lead line. The virulent
lyrics should make this a hit with high

school kids. However, the bass line
sounds like the "Batman" theme.
"Sabotage" sounds like "Every Breath
You Take" by The Police, and is the
album's most shameless rip-off.
"Don't Forget" sounds like Heart.
However, this is not a completely
wretched album. The band is right, and
the songs (especially "Nowhere to Run")
do occasionally rock. Gilder also has a
fine rockpop voice. He just needs
someone to write songs for him.
G.P.A. rating: 2.5.
