(Words by Burra, writaen a'yon thon billae talgan)
Everything I could have wanted from a Billy Talent album is right here. I'm happy that they've released yet another solid album from start to finish, as few bands nowadays manage to release cracking record after cracking record with little filler, but so far Billy Talent haven't let us down there at all, I feel. This is
full of catchy hooks - both vocally and musically; the catchy riffs and shouty choruses that this band have mastered so perfectly and what makes them so great to listen to.
"Ghost Ship Of Cannibal Rats" is a standout track on this one for me - it literally has all the right amounts of the above mentioned and more. Easily my personal favourite, and I'm pretty sure most fans of the band will agree with on this one too.
Another big highlight is "Rabbit Down The Hole", a very anthemic number. But, as I say there's literally not a bad song on the whole album.
In a nutshell, if you're already a fan of this band you'll love it, whilst it is also strong enough to maybe pick up some new fans who might have been late to the party upon checking them out. Very high energy, very fun, very enjoyable!
It's also worth noting the drums on this record were instead performed by Alexisonfire's Jordan Hastings - who's also touring with the band too - as regular drummer Aaron Solowoniuk is currently unable to drum due to a multiple sclerosis relapse (both drummers feature in current 2016 promotional pictures).
