Metal is such a paradox, in that it’s far more an idea than a sound. On its own two, this record is stupid, contrived, and undermines itself constantly: the bloated sound itself is hardly “metal,” whatever that means, and the singer of this legendary “metal” band has a refrain in the very first song about how he cries (which is also not at all “metal”). If I were one of those dudes who liked “metal” the idea more than “music” the vibrations, I would probably very much like this record. Alas, I am relegated to cheeky enjoyment of bro-ing out with its cheesy presentation, likely never to listen to or “enjoy” this “legendary” “metal” band’s newest record again. In closing, ELECTRIC RATTLESNAKE!
