| 3.5 great | Trey STAFF | December 25th 17 |
After 17 years, the Galactic Cowboys came out of nowhere with the announcement of their seventh album Long Way Back To The Moon, and only the third release to feature the original line-up. For those that have heard them before, Long Way Back To The Moon reminds me of a cross between the prog(ish) metal of their debut and the grungier, dirtier, more linear direction they started on Machine Fish. The thing is, Long Way Back To The Moon is better than either of those releases (and their whole discography, really). Whereas previous releases always had some sort of issue that detracted from the album?s overall quality, this one takes everything from their past including the chunky metal riffs, alternative rock and grunge influences, and the huge harmonized choruses and delivers them in a near-perfect package. If their are issues it?s that the abundance of harmonized vocals have a tendency to sound fairly cheesy and make the songs sound more similar than they really are. Also, their vocalist has the same nasally delivery as Voivod?s Denis ?Snake? Bélanger during their Angel Rat era, which could be off-putting to some? but not to me.

Galactic Cowboys and Space In Your Face were two brilliant albums in a league of their own. This
is their third with the original line-up twenty-four years later. Not as adventurous or virtuoso,
but a very good effort indeed!
