When an album is being shelved for two years, there’s usually a good reason for it. That point is once again proven while listening to Salim Nourallah’s “Hit Parade”, a title which I can only assume is slightly tongue-in-cheek. Recorded in 2009 after a European tour, it took up until now for Tapete Records to release the thing.
With plenty of hints towards greats such as The Kinks, The Beatles and Elvis Costello, Nourallah works his way down the tracklisting without every becoming engaging. It’s just all trickles along quietly and towards the end even Nourallah himself sounds bored with the material.
Score: 5 out of 10
