Cover: 9
Geordies out of 10
It's a cartoon cover that's supposed to look like a movie poster. It
has The Wildhearts on motorcycles as spaceships and a giant woman chase
them. It has the CD credits underneath like movie credits and it stands
out nicely. Very well done.
Booklet:
8 Geordies out of 10.
For once, The Wildhearts included lyrics! For each song, it has pictures
and captions which sum up what the song is about. There are also credits
and thanks and some thought was put into this.
Songs: 9
Geordies out of 10.
With each Wildhearts CD, you kinda know what you're going to get. Good
riffs and catchy hooks and this CD holds true to form. You have your
heavy, balls out songs like "Get Your Groove On," and "Nexus
Icon" and then you have your pop rock songs like "Only Love,
"Someone That Won't Let Me Go," and "One Love, One Life,
One Girl." There aren't as many tempo changes, left turns, or 11
minutes songs like past Wildhearts releases, but Ginger said he wanted
it that way. I guess you could say there is more songwriting on this
CD. It's more straight ahead, catchy pop-rock, or whatever you want
to call it. Other songs I enjoy include, but are not limited to, "There's
Only One Hell," "So Into You," and "Vanilla Radio."
Comments: I like this CD, especially
since for a while it looked like there would never be another Wildhearts
CD. One of the few bands for me where I basically dig everything they
put out.
