Great album and a major breakthrough for vintage rock this year, Blues Pills deserve all the success that has come down for them. I just wish the band would have new material in place of the songs previously featured in the EPs, that's just me though. For everyone else into retro rock, the album is a blast, anyway you stretch it.

Having heard their two EP's, I was expecting Blues Pills to release a decent album that at the best case scenario would be interesting. However, this debut went beyond my expectations. Above all, Nuclear Blast did a very good job with the production. It had carved very skillfully the band's raw sound without lifting it's psych/bluesy attitude thus keeping the foundations untouched. This is not a flashy mainstream album, but an LP with character. Look at that album sleeve; full of late 60s psychedelic innocence and simplicity. And the content matches exactly that cover work. Song ordering was also excellent. It started with such an intensity, then lowered speed for atmosphere, then back to faster tempos and closed in a melodic tone. I was a bit disappointed that "Devil Man" did not have that passionate 'heeeeeey devil man' that the EPs had, but after a couple of listenings I got over it because this version is also great. There are so many great songs here that it would be a pain in the ass selecting only one as your favorite. Recommendations: "High Class Woman", "Ain't No Change", "Jupiter", "Astralplane", "Gypsy", "Devil Man"

Flashy vintage blues rock; for as fun as this was, its success also gave rise to the likes of Greta Van Fleet. So you see, the world is never black and white.

Unoriginal, uninventive, but this is one of the best psych records you could hear off the 2010s. Just a hazy ride, and every track is a jam.
