Album Review: Beans On Toast - In The Grand Scheme Of Things

StarStarStar

"Beans On Toast is no Bob Dylan."

On his sixth studio effort it’s clear that although he’s a prominent and impressive folk artist, Beans On Toast is no Bob Dylan.

The lyrics are great but the subject matter doesn’t extend past observations anyone can and have made about society. Beans On Toast has a distinctive voice and style, but the musical compositions behind each song are merely a few notes that exist only as something on which the words sit. The opus would’ve been more digestible had it been recorded with folk band Handshake, who back him live.
