Free Music Review: A new look, but it strikes gold
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay, that title was a groaner, but don't judge this CD on my lack of imagination. The Gold Record is not vintage Bouncing Souls, but it's their best musical album yet.
The inevitable problem with The Gold Record is that the Souls have a subset of fans that expect certain things from the band, and the rest of the world just doesn't care. This isn't their traditional music -- in particular I missed the sense of humor that was all over their other albums -- but at some point these guys have become really, really good. It's a CD that I can get totally pumped to in my car, but that I don't have to pop out when my girlfriend gets in. Maybe that means it isn't hard enough for the punkers, but I'm more inclined to think that it's so good that nearly anyone can appreciate it. You couldn't say that about Anchors Aweigh, as much as I love that album.
My favorite Souls songs are still "Fight to Live" and "Bullying the Jukebox," which make me grin every time they hit my speakers. But for a complete album, The Gold Record is pretty hard to beat.
The Gold Record Poster
The Bouncing Souls have been kicking their singular brand of punk anthems for upwards of fifteen years, their live shows becoming the stuff of legend as they've shared the stage with everyone from Against Me to Alkaline Trio to The Casualties. After so much time on the road and six studio albums, it's a welcome surprise that this is the record of their career. Producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly) has brought out the huge, anthemic side of the band's songwriting, a committed storytelling as much in the tradition of The Who, Springsteen, Petty, and The Clash. As "The Gold Record" unfolds, song after song builds into a punk classic, leaving no doubt that no other current, continual band has had such a lasting impact on the punk landscape.Alternative Rock Music CDs
