Free Music Review: A great moment in rock
Hit: 5 Stars
The debut from a seemingly criminally underated hard rock band. As a fan of Led Zep, Van Halen, Thin Lizzy, etc, this album blew me away, literally from the opening chords. As far as i can see Thunder have all the elements of classic rock, skilled musicianship, great sounding vocalist, brilliant song writing and above all a collection of monstrous guitar riffs. Check out She's so Fine and Until my Dying Day and you'll hear what i'm talking about. Beyond this there is a slight hint of intelligence and irony behind the lyrics (mostly supplied by guitarist Luke Morley), and that all important element of restraint, which make the band more likeable than banal shredders for whom "sex drugs and rock and roll" is not only their lifestyle but their entire vocabulary. There's is a mature approach. I don't mean to paint these guys out as a math rock outfit, though. They may be mature but the job in hand is playing hard rock and they rise to the challenge with just the requisite amount of immaturity! The result is an album's worth of unforgettable riffs and rocking solos (which won't damage your IQ no matter how many listens)which can confidently be called one of the best records of the genre. There a few slow numbers but the passion and feeling of these boys prevent them from descending into that sickening realm of the power ballad; they sound instead geunuinly moving and sincere, and are pretty damn listenable. It seems to me that perhaps the maturity of this great hard rock band is what has prevented them getting the recognition which would be otherwise merited by their brilliant performance and repertoire, their fan base being largely restricted to those who can appreciate them (i've heard americans don't get irony - that might be the problem). On the flipside this lack of huge success - and the ego inflation that usual follows - might be what has kept the band's approach consistently strong. At the end of the day the acid test is the quality of the songs and some of my all time favourites can be found herein. Hard rock fans need this record, and everything else by Thunder. Basically, i love them like a brother........
