Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Let's Eat" is really a Love/Hate album in name only, being more of a solo showcase for Jizzy Pearl. On this CD, Pearl wrote the songs, plays guitars, provides vocals and acted as producer. The sound of the album is very different from the glammy, sleazy, Hollywood metal of the band's early releases. Being that the year was 1999 and alternative rock was in full swing, some of that attitude is brought into the Love/Hate camp. The CD starts out with the solid "It Could Happen to Me", a heavy, funk rocker. "Don't Play Your Guitar When You're Talking to Me" slows the pace a little complete with an annoyingly rap chorus. Of course, the how rap-rock/rapcore phenomenon was also in full swing in 1999. The three songs that follow-up, "Uncle Said" "Ratboy" and "Walk on the Moon", are punk infused hard rock that are not bad but are unfortunately not all that memorable. "Walk on the Moon" in particular is an attempt at modern, funky alternative rock. "No Regrets" is a melancholy, slow-paced song that bleeds emotion despite the more modern vibe. "Heartbreaker" begins as a strong rocker before imploding into a sort of Korn wannabe sound. The album ends with "Food for the Fire" a song that recalls the funkier side of Faster Pussycat or Guns n Roses. Overall, "Let's Eat" isn't horrific, but it definitely isn't the infectious, hook riddled rock and roll of those early Love/Hate albums either.
