Being quite awkward &#8211; well, or let\u2019s say \u201cspecial\u201c &#8211; for the most part, the Canadian band comprised of mainman Steve \u201cLips\u201c Kudlow (g\/v), Robb Reiner (d) and Chris Robertson (b) managed to absolutely stay true to their style and open a few new doors here and there over the last couple of albums. The new one is both, a typical ANVIL record with its stint of imperfection on the one hand but on the other hand, the band never sounded to good, actually! Thanks to producer Martin \u201cMattes\u201c Pfeiffer (u.a. U.D.O.), they actually never sounded so pristine. Well, ok\u2026we still talk about ANVIL here, but no comparison whatsoever to what the band did in the 2000s. And this goes with songwriting, too. Some tracks (\u201cGasoline\u201c or \u201cWhen All\u2019s Been Said And Done\u201c) are rather doom-like while others (\u201cI\u2019m Alive\u201c) are reminiscent of MOT\u00d6RHEAD to a certain degree and then there are really melodic metal anthems like \u201cPlastic In Paradise\u201c or \u201cGlass House\u201c, that include sophisticated lyrics as well.You can sense their type of humor in \u201cNabbed In Nebraska\u201c. Anvil, to cut it short, either you like them or not! Well, I do!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Stark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
