Reviews Customer Reviews for Speak Of The Devil      Good Set      Rating:      Many good songs on this album, though very little of the intensity of the early albums, what made Chris Isaak unique. "Wanderin'" comes close, and also describes the record a bit. Very good, but not compelling.     Customer Reviews for Speak Of The Devil Cd      Love it      Rating:      I enjoy his music alot. This CD is a little harder for me to like right away but after listening to it a few times. I get it and enjoy it. It was one of the last CD's I bought of his music. I have all his CD's now. Editorial Reviews for Speak Of The Devil Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Chris Isaak rocks? Indeed. Granted, the crooner's latest is no noisy, post-grunge Nirvana (though the chord progression of the opener, "Please," recalls Kurt Cobain's "Heart-Shaped Box"), but Devil does find Isaak loosening up. His gut-busting vocals on the free-for-all title track are as near to reckless as we're ever going to hear him. He's also toughening up, growling around his lower register in the death-inflected "Black Flowers." The backing band Silvertone kicks up its heels as well, most infectiously on the gleefully two-steppin' "I'm Not Sleepy." Of course, Isaak's signature shivery, quivering, and wistful ballads remain. And the singer still has a winning way with an unshakable melody. Armed with guitarist Hershel Yatovitz's poignant picking, only Isaak could turn a tired platitude like "Don't Get So Down on Yourself" into a true tearjerker. --Sue VanHecke
