Album Rating: 3.5
Hey everyone! Long time no see. Alright so, when I initially started writing something for this, I intended for it to be a simple soundoff to help get me back in the mindset of reviewing, kind of as just a short little warm-up you could say, but as I kept on writing I found I had a lot more to say than I originally thought I would, so it ended up being too long to be a soundoff.
I actually was planning on a review for the new Alice in Chains to be my return from a month's absence since this album and review really aren't anything too special or relevant to the site's interest, but still, nice to be getting back to reviewing again.

Missed you around here, man! This is a very solid return to form-- enjoyed the read.
This review in particular balanced the line between being very readable and informative, which is good. It's concise, but is packed to the brim with information.
Only nitpick I have is this rather hilarious typo:
in cultural tribute to a sex and boos lifestyle
*booze ;]

Good review, have a mind-pos. Though in terms of radio rock you give this a 3.5 but Hinder an 0.5?

was gonna say booze not boos lol but omaha already got it. nice review

Whoops, thanks for the catch there guys. Spellcheck has made a fool of me once again. Thanks for the compliments as well! Also, Brostep, this is a million times better than anything Hinder's ever done, I assure you. That's really not saying much though, since you could say that about even Nickelback.

Out of all the things that are considered 'radio rock' that I have heard recently, I think Volbeat is the best find I have had in a while. I have heard the first few tracks from this, and it wasn't too bad either.

I agree with you there Ecnalzen. I think Volbeat's new album is the best thing put out recently by any metal band that's been receiving heavy rotation and attention on rock radio waves.

Definitely, breaking. The guy from Volbeat's voice can be a little over the top voice and his vibrato gets too crazy sometimes, but the music is pretty great. It took me a few listens before his singing style came around for me.
Even though it came out mid-last year, I also really enjoyed Young Gun's last release, Bones. They are a UK rock band and have just started getting attention in the states over the last 6 months or so.

Great review Alex. I've heard of these guys, but haven't heard this. Mind pos'd.

Thanks a bunch Justin! I have a feeling this wouldn't be your thing though, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Lol I was the one who actually put this album on Sputnik and gave the first rating. I've loosely followed the band like many from the post-grunge genre that I used to love. I still haven't found a post-grunge album I've enjoyed in a long time. It's mostly a dead genre imo (not that there was a whole lot to begin with).

This is just some plain old dumb/fun rock.
