Let's face it; you can only listen to ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, GNR and AC/DC for so long until you've worn the discs into powder. Thankfully, Chuck Ransom and the boys are aware of this problem, and have offered two swift remedies this year with the phenomenal "And the Rest Will Follow" and now another knockout punch, "The Return of Rock 'n Roll".

The disc leads off with it's best track "You Got it Coming", sagaciously setting the tone. Over the course of eleven songs, the boys dispense a bounty of crunching riffage, anthemic drinking-fighting-fucking lyrics, brief guitar solos that clash, blend, and intertwine, and other assorted elements for disturbing the peace. You'll be humming "Don't ever let those bastards get you down..." on your way to work in no time. Plus, there's a fair share of surprises like the sitar-ish acoustic segments of "Radioshadow". Rawk has a new name and it is THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT. Buy or die.
