Meat not a banger

○○○●●

CANADIAN rocker Hawksley Workman is hoping to bring home the bacon with his latest joint, Meat, part of a double whammy of releases in 2010 alongside Milk.
The album, the prolific performer's 13th studio outing, doesn't quite make the chop for me.
Production values here are high - with an impressive electronic sheen lent to his slightly glam, workmanlike rock.
But despite this Workman, real name Ryan Corrigan, is style rather than substance on Meat - coming across like a poor man's Bono.
