Query: A surprise from an old fave!

After being disappointed with most "rock" albums this year (or the past three years, for that matter), most particularly the latest from Velvet Revolver and Audioslave, I decided to check out the latest from one of my old favorites, Trouble. I haven't gone back and listened to them for quite a few years (having most of their stuff on vinyl!) but I gotta say, this is one of the best hard albums of the year, and definitely one of the band's best. Even after ten years between albums, they not only haven't missed a step, but have rather come up with an album where there is something to grab onto in every song, whether it's a great, catchy riff, a solid slow doom progession, or a nice melodic, psychedelic ballad tune - all with some great vocals and killer lead work. If you like Sabbath-style rock, but without the overkill down-tuned stuff inherent in a lot of similar bands ("old style", as I prefer to call it!), then check out this excellent new album!
