Okay, maybe that’s a little presumptuous of me to say, but it’s with good reason. Every once in a while, a band comes along with the kind of music I never thought was possible. If Lordi’s music was sub-par, I’d call them Gwar rip-offs without a second thought. These songs, however, are SO rocking, SO in your face, SO dripping with passion and intensity that the fact that they so brazenly adopted this (well)done-before monster theme (and no, I haven’t forgotten about the guys who started it all: KISS) makes what could easily have been considered borderline plagiarism an all-the-more BALLSY statement. If you’ve been waiting eons for a rock band to kick your backside into next year and beyond, it is your duty to purchase this record right now.
