Free Music Review: An incredible Return to Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this album for a year now, and I have to say, it's INCREDIBLE. If you are any sort of fan of classic rock, the Eagles, and sometimes even The Beatles, then you're in for a treat.
After scouring the 'net for a new 'classic' rock band, this is definitely it. The Elms have the sound that'll run a razor right up your spine, and they're not afraid to say it. One of the best upbeat tracks on this album, Who Puts Rock and Roll in Your Blood, represents an unrepentant anthem of the band's mission: "We put rock and roll in your blood, we put all that give in your love!"
Pretty much all the tracks are top notch, most of them aiming to be rock stadium favorites, with catchy lyrics and awesome upbeat rhythms. Two notable exceptions to this trend are I've Been Wrong, a song of repentance and sorrow, which truly showcases the band's ability to turn the energy down and show a glimpse of forgiveness, and The Towers and the Trains, a song which traverses between fast and slow, building, breaking, and rebuilding the lyrics and guitar, ending in an extended drum solo, a thoroughly enjoyable finale for an awesome song.
Overall, I'd slap down a good deal more than ten bucks to hear these catchy, incredible tracks.
