Editorial review
Eleven will probably be forever best known as "hired guns" for such hard rock heavyweights as Chris Cornell and Queens of the Stone Age, as well as at one point including original Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer (and brief Pearl Jam member) Jack Irons in their ranks. But the group has always been about the multi-talented duo Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider, who released the group's fifth release overall, Howling Book, in 2003. Eleven manages to retain the arty yet rocking sound of their earlier releases here, as evidenced by such standouts as the groove-heavy hard rocker "Flow Like a River" and the moody, extended album closer, "I Will Drink It All." Interestingly though, there are quite a few tracks here that would have sounded at home on Chris Cornell's Euphoria Morning -- especially "Simple Kiss" and "Kill Me No More." This shouldn't come as a surprise, however, as Johannes and Shneider co-produced, played on, and helped pen songs for the former Soundgarden singer's solo debut. Longtime fans of Johannes and Shneider are sure to enjoy Howling Book, as will admirers of original and uncompromising hard rock. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"We are in musical heaven," read a statement earlier this year from Alain
Johannes, guitarist and vocalist of seminal L.A. rock band Eleven. He was
referring to the homecoming of Jack Irons, who along with Alain and Natasha
Schneider, formed Eleven in 1990. To fans, this wasn't just any ordinary
announcement. It signaled a return to the chemistry and energy that
established Eleven as one of the premier acts of the early nineties.
Of all of the bands to come and go over the last twelve years, Eleven have
not only survived in an ever-changing commercial music landscape, they've
flourished. The critically acclaimed Avantegardedog (2000) was a showcase of
melodic virtuosity that is seldom matched. The sultry, hypnotic vocals of
Natasha Schneider paired with the soaring guitar work of Alain Johannes have
long been a critical part of the blueprint for the Eleven sound.
