When you open an album with a high octane, ear splitting guitar solo partnered with pummeling drums and a guitar riff that could outrun an African cheetah you know you're in for a good time. R.O.A.D. combine a fuzzy but incredibly tight and honed pitch fronted by snarling southern whiskey drowned vocals.
Pitted with Lemmy skin tags, corroded with fuzzy riffs to the point of non-conformity, R.O.A.D. not only makes for a hard word to type, but it’s muddy, and gargled vocal delivery will sure to have you mopping up the bar room dance floor with your snakeskin boots. "Dirt and whiskey", as shouted numerous times on the opening number basically sum up the entire album. Not to be redundant either, each song brings its own gun to the fight. The guitar marksmanship shreds prevalent on each and every rock and roll stand-off. The combination of classic hard rock with a dirty and sleazy modern bar scuzz, R.O.A.D. keep the energy soaring off the charts through and through.
If you're a fan of Motorhead, AC/DC, Corrosion of Conformity, or of the likes you are going to love R.O.A.D. Just look at the track listing and imagine those song titles completely brought to life. It's one of those records, you know? Really deep and emotional on a rock and roll fantasy type wavelength. It plays through fairly quickly at 37 minutes on 8 songs, which is just about right. Perfect soundtrack to smoke a cigarette, down a couple or three beers, and shoot a game of pool in the local hole in the wall saloon.
