Free Music Review: puttin' the blood in rock
Hit: 5 Stars
People have told me that Bloodrock USA marks a turning point for the band. What? It does? No, that doesn't happen until Passage. Bloodrock USA *definitely* contains the same hard rock sound and songwriting featured on the first three albums. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say there's NO difference between this album and the previous three whatsoever.
I also believe Bloodrock was quite the popular band for American troops fighting in Vietnam. If this is true, hey, that's pretty cool.
I suppose the opener called "It's a Sad World" might be a good indication this Texas rock band was concerned for our American troops. What a great vocal melody. What's really neat about the song is the way the band tosses in delicate flutes over the verse melody, a soaring organ solo in the middle, and a sizzling, melodic guitar jam to finish off the instrumental outburst of talent before the main verse melody comes back in. Terrific song.
"Promises" feels like it's written in more or less the same style. "Crazy 'Bout You Babe" is just a great pop song that reminds me of Grand Funk Railroad a little bit, "Hangman's Dance" might indicate the band were fans of Black Sabbath with that amazingly powerful guitar riff breaking out into an acoustic section for the final minute, and "American Burn" strikes me immediately for its upbeat vocal melody sung in SUCH a fantastic way.
"Abracadaver" has a HIGHLY memorable chorus, and "Magic Man" is perhaps the bands all-out doom and gloom epic conclusion, however, it's not quite as unsettling and spooky as a track such as "D.O.A". Far from it, in fact. Something happens as this song progresses though, and turns darker and darker. I love it.
An added bonus to an already solid collection of songs is the way the band members literally scatter every single moment of the experience with either guitar solos, keyboards, drums, flutes, and perhaps other things. Including such variety adds up to a VERY solid hard rock album in my book, filled completely with interesting musical ideas you will discover with repeated listens.
Overall, yeah, Bloodrock USA is just a great album. That makes four solid albums in a row from these guys.
