I haven't heard the whole album yet, but I can imagine I'll agree with the sentiment 100%. I know their lyrics are pretty poor and their music isn't ground-breaking but I like them a lot. I think its important to have bands that you can just enjoy on a more superficial level without having to worry about how 'good' they are.

Well said mitch. Most will scoff at the word "important" in your statement, but in a way, I think it is. Especially froma reviewer's pov, it sort of keeps us grounded.



Oh come on Croc, there was that one time when I agreed with you... Can't recall what it was, but it must have been Def Lep related. ;-)

Awesome review Davey, agree with pretty much every word. Mines pretty similar to this but I've already written it so may as well post later.

this band is up there with jet in terms of forced rock posturing and sheer awfulness

Sweet review. I really, really liked this band's first album when it came out at the time, I remember thinking it was just fantastic, haven't listened to it in awhile though. Guess I'll have to check this out too.

No, in all honesty. It's all solid but there aren't really any standouts imo.

Thanks clercqie & Ali.



"this band is up there with jet in terms of forced rock posturing and sheer awfulness"

The thing is, I don't think it's forced posturing in this case. I just think they're having fun & doing what they do well.



xfearbefore, their debut was a little more indie & diverse than their next 2, so just be aware of that.



Adam, I may not be the best one to answer your question as I always though Rock'n'Roll Queen was over-rated. In fact, that song did remind me of Jet. Fun live song though.

I've always imagined they would be really fun live. Hopefully they come out for BDO or Soundwave.

I saw a bit of them live at SW a few years back. They were pretty rough around the edges, but very energetic, as you would expect them to be.

Good review, DaveyBoy! I like the direction you took with this review.

One thing I noticed, the sentence where you said "Reaching its peak when the energy and tempo is turned to eleven" reads a bit awkwardly, the tempo part. I think it's because tempos are numbers, and 11 as a tempo would be quite slow, which is the opposite of what you were going for lol. :]

maybe i'm reading too much into it- regardless, nice job!
