The Canadians are the ultimate bulldozer! They smash, they thrash, they kiss major ssa!!! This is studio album No 14 and they act like it’s their debut, they act like they’re 18 years old! Maan! You listen and you think it’s a brand new band filled with some freakin’ talented youth and it’s logical once you get to listen to the title track! Bazookas and Napalm and a heck of a fine production! “A plus” for Mr. Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Airbourne, Alice Cooper); the album was recorded over Dave Grohl’s studio! You are impressed? Wait a bit, there’s so much more to come. Wait till you hear the rest of the songs. The massacre is at the gates…
Pure and trouble making Rock/Metal! Guitars, fuzz, drums, double bass drum, solos, thunder, lightning, rough vox, attitude, hype! “Fukeneh” is EPICAL, that riff is awesomic, it some sort of a DIO hybrid! “Turn it up” takes it from there, it spreads like Hydrargyrum, making the snare suffer the best (im)possible way!
Every song in the album is made for huge arenas, every song is fire and stone, every song in the album is forged upon the Anvil! The best way to feel that is Lips’ voice; that voice has this special something, it sweeps us off our feet, it is our guide for speed and max sound increase, it sounds GREat on fast songs and mid tempo ones.
“Not afraid”, “Running”… Especially that last one, with its Motörhead suit… That’s a lot of power, you guys! That’s high speed and rising! Naturally, you don’t need me to tell you about these three bombers… It’s all Metal and barbaric Rock and that’s it!
Fantastic album, it will do you GOOD. Recipe of the month: push play after watching the DVD! Da ‘orra!
