The Motels' third album All 4 One finds the group working the fine line between mainstream arena-rock and quirky new wave pop. Their roots lie in the sleek, polished Californian hard rock that dominated late-'70s and early-'80s album-oriented radio, but All Four One has a shiny new wave production, complete with keyboards and processed guitars. Still, it plays like arena rock, especially since Martha Davis oversings each track, but its best moments -- "Take the L" (out of lover and it's over) and the single "Only the Lonely" -- are embarrassingly catchy guilty pleasures that make the album an entertaining nostalgia piece. [One Way's CD reissue is even more attractive, since it adds the group's two other big singles, "Suddenly Last Summer" and "Shame," as bonus tracks.] The motels all four one album download remastered. Much of this album was recorded for an unreleased record. I had no idea that was the in case until doing some research. Read the wikipedia entry. "After the mild success of their second album Careful, The Motels went back into the studio in early 1981 to record album three with the then up and coming producer Val Garay. The band at this time consisted of Martha Davis on vocals and guitar, Tim McGovern on lead guitar, Marty Jourard on keyboards, Michael Goodroe on bass and Brian Glascock on drums. Wanting to stretch the limits as to what they could do artistically and musically, the band recorded some of its most dark and heavy music to date. Despite having Garay as producer for the album, the songs were basically arranged and handled by McGovern. The results were mixed. While some arrangements on the tracks were outstanding rock numbers ("Mission of Mercy," "Schneekin'" and "So L.A."), some were a little too experimental and not as well produced ("Sweet Destiny" and the first version of "Only the Lonely"). Neither the band nor Garay ever submitted any of the recordings to Capitol Records while the recording process was going on. When the band submitted the final tapes to Capitol, the label rejected it stating that it was "not commercial," essentially meaning it was a dead record. The band had begun getting local gigs in the L.A. area to try out their new material, but by the end of 1981, McGovern officially left the band for personal and private reasons, leaving The Motels without a lead guitarist. Unwilling to give up, the remaining members forged on back into the studio with Val Garay at the controls. This time Garay had more liberty to mold the band's sound to a more commercial venue. Studio musicians were added to fill the lead guitar void for several of the tracks, as well as to flesh out the sound of the recordings. Adrian Peritore (who went by the name Guy Perry because his former producer had misspelled his name on an album cover) was hired in late January and played lead guitar to some of the tracks, including "He Hit Me." The album was retitled All Four One because the band had recorded four albums but one would not be released, and also because the four remaining members had stayed together to complete the album ("all for one and one for all!"). it was released in April 1982 on Capitol Records. The result was the biggest selling album for The Motels. The album spurred both American and International hits. The album was certified gold in several countries including the United States and Canada by the end of 1982. The hits from the album included "Mission of Mercy," "Only the Lonely," "Take the L," "Forever Mine," "So L.A.," and "Art Fails." I usually don't just rip off stuff from Wikipedia, but I thought this story was interesting enough that I figured it was worth the copy and paste job. So enough about what some Wikipedia writer says about the record, let's get on to what I think about the record. Let me just start by saying that I think Martha Davis has one of the great voices in pop music, especially in the 80's. "Mission Of Mercy" starts the record off with some upbeat new wave synth and guitar driven pop. As a song, it is okay, but certainly not great. It does introduce you to Martha's voice in a way that some may not be used to because this is a rock and roll song and not a slow ballad like "Only The Lonely" or "Suddenly Last Summer". "Take The L" is going to sound like more familiar territory as the band slows down a little. The passionate singing that drove The Motels to the top is also present here. The song is a nice transition from the opening rocker and "Only The Lonely" because it still kind of rock. It is a sort of hybrid of the two styles and works nicely into "Only The Lonely". "Only The Lonley" is a pitch perfect song from those opening keyboard notes and Martha's sultry vocals to the end fade out on the saxophone. I love the opening lyrics and over the simple notes. I love the way Davis sings and pronounces "No intention". For some reason that bit has stuck with me sense I first heard the song as a kid. Then when the drum kicks in and she sings "We lied" I get warm fuzzies all over. Part of that is nostalgia, but I'm pretty sure I felt that when I heard this song back in 1982. The the bridge, let's not forget that great saxophone solo. I've mentioned it before here on the blog, but the 80's had some great saxophone music. This being one of the prime examples. "At Fails" starts out with a slight Asian theme going on. Maybe I'm just hearing things, but I get a Kyoto song vibe from it. Think "Hong Kong Garden" from Siouxsie, but a little more new wave and Californian. I like this track. Track 5 "Change My Mind" is a torch song in every sense of the word. I picture Martha Davis on a lonely stage in a small club, spotlit illuminating her face and ruby red lipstick accenting the image.
