Free Music Review: Lights Out on a Los Angeles Riot
Hit: 5 Stars
Sugarcult has always been one of those bands that filled their quota, making some great tracks, but always releasing largely mixed albums. Maybe it's because of the constant style changes, or the fact that they resided on the darker side of pop punk, but besides their soundtrack placements, Sugarcult has never before been much to write home about... until this album. In terms of power-rock albums, there's simply nothing better. It's mature, it's surprising, and it rocks from start to finish, with almost no acoustics in sight. There's also no question that this is by far the band's best album.
You'll find the band's standard more hardcore power-rock side in songs like the dirty "Los Angeles," "Dead Living," "Explode," and "Out of Phase." All are all good arena rockers, blasting speakers, and taking no prisoners along the way.
Highlights include the catchy feel-good song, "Do It Alone," which also has a great music video, and the song fit perfectly in Dane Cook's movie star debut "Employee of the Month." "Riot" is a perfect hardcore arena rocker, with fists pumping in full, well, riot mode. "Majoring In Minors," despite its rather strange title delivers on all its marks and more. The peppy "Shaking" also delivers in the band's mature sunny side delight sound. "The Investigation" is also a surprisingly emotional love song, which hits all the right notes, especially on the chorus.
And for those of you able to attain the bonus tracks from the Japanese version, then you'll be very pleased. "Freezing" is a short but sweet acoustic ballad. While the cover of "A Hard Day's Night" is absolutely perfect for the band, giving a short burst of power-rock perfection.
I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from this album, but Sugarcult took me by total surprise, crafting the perfect power-rocker Fall Out Boy and groups like them could only dream about making. Sure it's not the most original album on the block, but power-rock usually has other goals in mind, and Lights Out meets and exceeds every goal. So for all those looking for a good power rock/pop album, then this is perfect for you. The Plain White T's this is not.
