Not sure about this. It is dripping with man anger and rage but not in an accessible way for me. This album has a very metal influence with the skinhead vibe thing. The vocals are extremely deep—can’t imagine what it was like for this guy to go through puberty—similar to Danzig meets an angry drill sergeant. Along with the metal vibe, the album has moments of bass-infused blues-like-rock outs, with screeching guitar rock star solos over it, like in “That Kind of Courage” and “Gone.” The production of the album is good and the tempo is sped up and always going, but something about it just isn’t gelling with me.
