Hauahe, if you look at the band's homepage, you can't help but agree to various bizarre clauses, including a lifelong dependency on the band. The bar is set high. In October 2005, they saw the light of this weary planet, and that in Berlin. What is offered is Rock’n’Roll that doesn’t start at the wrong end. The CD features 11 tracks that are delivered without restraint. The guitars are consistently powerful, and the vocals are somewhat unconventional but overall pleasant, a bit cheeky, and at times sung clearly. However, the guitars steal the show from the vocals time and again. The lyrics are all included in the booklet, so you can get a sense of the mental state (everything seems to be okay). Heartbreak is a must in good Rock’n’Roll, and here too, a song about it kicks off the colorful array of melodies. The second song "Idiot" hits exactly the right nerve for me, sung great, cool guitar riffs, and the whole song is bursting with dynamism; everything fits. I find it hard to make comparisons; bands across the big pond might sound similar. The Foo Fighters are mentioned as a reference in the info, and Billy Talent seems to have been an influence as well; I’ll leave it at that. The production is powerful, an attribute I would also assign to the entire album. However, for me, it sounds a bit too mainstream. Generally, the choruses are catchy but don’t stick, except for "Idiot," which has a lot to offer. The CD is pleasant; it doesn’t bite you in the leg and flows smoothly. Nice rock music with an American flair. Back to the lyrics, which enhance the overall impression. They sing about heartbreak and love, poser attitudes (Ladies call me "Hard-on Man" shit hot damn that’s what I am), dreams of freedom (Gimme a ride to anywhere My destination is a place that I can bare, drop me off behind the square maybe I will find my sanctuary there), and ignorant monkeys - rather personal lyrics, I would say. This fits well with the music, and overall, this album is a nice pastime, no more and no less.
