Hazzard's Cure (CD)
While I find it difficult to categorize Hazzard's Cure, there are some general observations I can make about the album. For one, the guitar work is top notch. The group has a way of building the intensity of their guitars, winding them up, pausing and winding up again. It's quite a powerful technique and it quickly builds the mood, the tension, inherent in the band's songs. I will also say there is a lot of energy on this album. The band comes in strong, plays hard and really gives us our money's worth on these seven tracks. The song Meet Me At The Mountain is especially powerful as is Clashing Of Hordes, though in very different ways. The former comes in low and slow with the stalking patience of a tiger; with the powerful, unstoppable flow of a river. It's intense, resonating in the bones and the soul. Clashing Of the Hordes, takes a different approach. It starts like a punch to the face, violent, intense, and it stays on top, smashing its verses down upon our heads like an angry god. The band doesn't show off this impressive range often, but it's there and I appreciate their ability to excel at opposite ends of the spectrum.
