Oh hello waveriders!
I didn't see you there. You know,
there are times when a music review needs to be long winded and full of
colorful language in order to properly convey the complexity and artistic
impact an album creates inside a listener's head. This is not one of those times. Buckle those seatbelts and brace yourselves
because Closer To Relevance from Workhorse III is here! This album rocks! You need it!
Go buy it! End of review.
Wait, you're still here?
You'd like some more details to further persuade you that this album is
worth your time? Alright, fine.
Closer To Relevance is
a straight up, unapologetic rock record.
Prog...this ain't. Opening track
"War Torn City"
explodes out of the speakers following a quick cymbal count-in and proceeds to
unrelentingly stampede over your eardrums at an excessive rate of speed. It's wonderful! Songs such as "War..." along with
the title track and "Soul Crusher" draw immediate comparisons in my
mind with Motorhead. Far from being a one trick pony however, the
further one delves into this album the more sonic variety emerges.
"When I'm Gone" explores the ear-pleasing blueprint
laid out by Dinosaur Jr. "Life Of Crime" and "Find My
Mind" exhibit powerful alternative rock tendencies straight out of the
1990s. "What's The Point"
revels in its punk assault. "Want
You" and closing track "I Can't Forget" both utilize Led Zeppelin-esque elements. There's
even a touch of glam metal in the guitar lines to the song
"Wasted". The bottom line is
that Workhorse III keeps things
fresh and interesting throughout this entire album.
Okay, let's try this one more time. Do you like rock 'n' roll music? Do you like rock 'n' roll music that makes your
head and at the very least your upper torso gyrate back and forth? Excellent!
