The unapologetically loud debut from classic rock revivalists Rival Sons has the typical elements any Zeppelin fan-turned-rocker would put on their record: high-octane vocals without a shred of remorse for exploding amps. Rival Sons were obviously those few in chemistry class daydreaming of arena rock stardom, hoping to someday play the blues effectively over heavy distortion. Its an excellent continuum between loud-pop vocal and really gritty blues rock so gritty, in fact, it merits a shower. Its nasty, overdosed on sex and pills, but so believable that to call it cliché would be a serious crime. Listen to highlight and opening track Tell Me Something and attempt to convince anyone otherwise; it defies convention, existing only in MP3 form, when every track is begging to be played in a packed shithole club. It its too loud, then get out Rival Sons sound will murder you. -Hugo Gomez, The Deli LA
