Shouty shanties and singalong anthems! September 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, shiver me wotsits maties, the mighty Goldblade have returned after 'Rebel Songs' with 14 new songs. Not before time! Mind you, they've been trawling the country belting some of these out over the last year, and while you can't really capture the full raucous joy of a Blade gig via the studio, they've come pretty close here.
'Jukebox Generation', the first single(is there such a thing anymore?)romps along, defying you not to sing along while bouncing round the house. Along with 'Riot' and 'Mutiny' these follow the trademark "simple chorus, bloomin' difficult verse" lyrics of John Robb. So far, so catchy.
'Beyond God and Elvis' rattles along without a chorus to speak of, while 'Everybody's On Drugs' makes for an oddly chart friendly chorus, in an alternative world(also kicking against the perils of tobacco).
If you've heard and enjoyed Goldblade before, you WILL buy this! Maybe it'll inspire a new legion of supporters, but with virtually no radio or t.v exposure I doubt it. Many people will recognise John Robb in his 'rent-a-quote' guise from many t.v 'Weren't the Seventies Great!" type things, but Goldblade deserve greater exposure. He, and the band, have put their heart and soul into their music and to constantly entertain those determined thrill seekers at their gigs.
'Do the Neo Con' and 'America Destroys All It's Heroes' have political edge, but many of these songs also retain tunes that many other bands would sell their granny for.
My only complaint is that towards the middle, things begin to sound the same, but part of that is due to the running order I think. 'City of Ghosts' is a musical departure(unless you know all the b-sides)and I'd like to hear more of that style.
There's also the bonus banjo reprise at the end folks. What more do you want? Time to mutiny!
