Well executed hard rock, but I couldn't really find anything special in it. This is a sound that was more or less settled in the 1980s, and no particular innovation here 30 years on. Similarly the lyrics are perfectly functional and fit to purpose but pretty meathead.

Sounds just like anything else you can hear on the classic rock oldies station. Sounds a lot like Iron Maiden. Occasionally whiffs of Audioslave.
I like those bands and this band sounds good. For 2009 it feels a bit derivative.

Pretty standard hard rock release, but that's not a bad thing at all. Definitely needed an injection of distorted guitar this week, and the usual arrangements and lyrics got my head bobbing and kept me entertained which is all I can ask for.

This is the sort of hard rock I can really get into, and get into it I did. There are certainly lots of other more well-known options for this kind of music but this served me well to rock out this afternoon.
Fun and a very enjoyable listen!

lol I don't know what this is going to be but the cover SUCKS in a funny way. It kinda looks like it'll be heavy metal? Maybe from a non-English country? Greece?
Ok, it's hard rock (close enough) and the singer sounds like Jimmy Barnes. They're Australian? Fuck, I never heard of them. I love Airbourne, so how did this escape me? Either way, pretty much up my alley. 4/5.

Hard rock is a kind of practice for the dust of Oz. Koritni lay down a respectable record here, one that stays on the road and is thus clean inasmuch as the jalopy holds together. The closing words from boozing skeletons are disarmingly encouraging: Sunlight falls on the hills outside the rotting house and friendship survives the land of the dead, I suppose.

I find the album cover a little misleading. I was expecting metal, but all I got was some good ol' fashioned hardrock. Melodic, catchy and good to listen to! Also a little too smooth for my taste, but that didn't spoil the party.

I know they say not to judge an album by its cover, but I did and I was wrong. I was expecting some type of death-metal/grindcore/growly vocal type bullshit, but this was like 80's throwback hard rock. Still not quite my cup of tea but not half bad. 3 stars.

-Look at the cover art
-looks like lame rip off of megadeth
-listen to first 15 seconds
-itβs a lame rip off of megadeth with less metal and more lame rock sound
-keep listening, nothing changes
-turn off

A very welcome sound in this list. Pretty straight forward hard rock... it sounds as if Kix took the Black Crowes singer. Everything is pretty energetic and fun, reasonably melodic and has a good driving beat. Rounding up a little bit.

They nailed the classic hard rock song even if it felt like they were playing the same song over and over. I think with multiple listens Iβd really like most of the songs on here. Iβm impressed so far at least 80% of the user submitted list Iβve gotten are from bands Iβve never heard of. Always love discovering new music!

Well, Sleaze Rock is definitely an appropriate name for this genre. It really captures the feeling of the 80s hair metal bands, but with a slightly more modern feel. It's not particularly what I was looking for, but they execute it well, and it's a fun album overall that feels like a throwback to no year in particular
4/5

This was a pretty wild album. From the album cover I assumed it was going to be kind of trash. Then when it started it and I had my bootcut jeans on and spiked my hair and rocked out. This is the perfect music for your dive bar. Itβs not great but it has its moments where itβs plenty of fun. This gives Nickelback a run for their money. 6.4/10

This isnβt a bad album, but for something that comes out in 2009 it sounds too much like itβs 70βs influences to be anything that special in my view. If Iβm going to listen to hard rock Iβd rather listen to the classics than this.

I get a big taste of David Coverdale and Whitesnake in this. Maybe a bit of Poison. Fender heavy and just classic 80s rock components. Released in the 2000s. Zoinks.

Well, this isn't a bad album, but it is also a thoroughly unoriginal album that contributes nothing but a fun 40-ish minutes to your life.
Yes, the album is 51 minutes long. It gets tired after 40 though.

This album is a fairly straightforward hard rock album with touches of hair metal and glam thrown in. The musicianship is fine and the singer has a great voice for the genre. The lyrics werenβt great however and this album came out 25-30 years too late. There is nothing unique about this album.

Rode this one like a wave, up and down. By song three I was enjoying it. A few songs later I was tired of it. I'm not sure I needed two "Tornado Chasing" tracks. It's fine, played well, but would definitely be flagged for plagiarism if it went through one of those scanners. Copies a bit too hard from the likes of Van Halen ("By My Side") and AC/DC ("Game Of Fools"). Favorite track: "You Vs Me"

There are two demographics that would seek this out: divorced dads and marketing professionals working on a commercial for an oversized pickup truck that will spend its whole existence in the suburbs never being used for its intended purpose. The truck will be purchased by the divorced dad who will then complain about gas prices.

This sort of AC/DC-clone aussie pub rock revival of the 2000's really only yielded two bands worth mentioning: Airbourne and this one. In truth, neither are worth appraisal because later acts like The Chats and Amyl and the Sniffers more successfully fused the sound with more garage punk energy. Are they a competent band? Sure. Lots of bands can write a few riffs and play a rock beat under it. Is it good? Not really! And 50 minutes on top of that, there's really no need.
CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: lol no.

The guy who submitted this went through the entire list, gave a 1/5 to everything that wasn't cock rock, finished, submitted a cock rock album, then went through the users list and gave everything a 1/5 until he finally got to his own submission, gave it a 5/5 and left forever.
I fully respect that but I also really fucking hate cock rock, so it's a 2/5 from me, chief.
