Lettuce - Cook (2025)
Cook is an easy, groove-forward funk record that delivers solid musicianship and bright rhythmic momentum. Guitars, bass, and horns lock into tight patterns, and the production is clean without being flashy. The album maintains a steady mood from track to track, offering a consistent backdrop rather than a dramatic narrative.
The strength of Cook lies in its reliability. It’s engaging enough to hold attention in the moment, but never pushes into territory that demands focus or interpretation. The grooves are enjoyable but expected, and while the musicianship is clearly competent, it rarely surprises.
There are standout rhythmic moments and a few tasteful solos, yet everything stays within a familiar structure. The record is pleasant, polished, and easy to listen to — though ultimately limited in depth and emotional impact.
