User Album Review
“Burn It Down”, the band’s fourth full-length studio album, is a fabulous bluesy hard rock album. The are some immediate favourite tracks here, such as the title track “Burn It Down” as well as “Rise Up”, “Resurrection”, “Leave Me Alone” and “Dead and Gone”. Fantastic catchy hard rock of the best kind. This is one groovy rock band. “Judgement Day” starts off slow and then goes back and forth tempo-wise with some subtle but terrific guitar work going on. “What Goes Around” will no doubt be a great addition to the band’s live set. “Set Me Free” is a slow song but a great one with plenty of emotion.
There is so much talent and playfulness in this band that it bubbles over. And the chemistry is there too: they’re having fun together and it shines through in their music. But while these lads seem laidback and fun-loving, they have the songwriting skills and the musical talent to perform as well. Somehow, and thankfully, the producer Marti Frederiksen manages to maintain the rawness and straightforwardness of this rock’n’roll circus in the studio. With a band like The Dead Daisies, an animal that feeds off raw talent, energy, chemistry, war scars, personal chemistry and attitude, the magic can easily be destroyed in a sterile studio environment. Not the case here. It sounds as if this merry band of rock brothers brought their tour bus into the studio. There is road dirt in the production and that is a good thing.
The band’s shows are laidback but high-energy festivals of rock’n’roll. This studio album captures a lot of that spirit. Another solid album from a terrific rock band. Well done.
