After making a comeback in 1981, the revamped 1980s version of Grand Funk Railroad took one last stab at the 80s rock market with Whats Funk? This time, the band enlisted Gary Lyons (producer for Foreigner and the Outlaws) to create an updated version of the kind of slickly produced album that made the group into a pop hitmaker during the mid-70s. The end result is an improvement over 1981s underproduced Grand Funk Lives, but it still suffers from some uneven moments. Lyons adds plenty of early-80s frills to the group sound, the most notable examples being the synthesizers and drum machines that dress up tunes like Innocent and Im So True. This approach doesnt always work (the Gary Numan-like programmed synthesizers that underpin Borderline clutter up what could have been an effective slice of guitar-driven hard rock), but the group turns in the kind of songs and energetic performances that help make Whats Funk? an engaging album. Good examples include Still Waitin, a straight-ahead rocker that seamlessly blends heavy guitar riffs with a catchy chorus, and Borderline, a soulful power ballad that balances the groups instrumental power with plenty of smooth harmonies. Another highlight is the groups cover of the James Brown classic Its a Mans World, which cleverly rearranges the tune to fit the bands power trio format. In the end, Whats Funk? lacks the kind of exceptional songs and breakout hits that would have made the album cross over to the mainstream, but it remains a solid batch of tunes that will please the groups fans. ~ Donald A.
