Danske metalbilly legende Volbeat su se vratili sa novim studijskim albumom. Bend se trenutno nalazi na američkoj turneji a odličnim švedskim Ghost i jako bih volio taj paket vidjeti u Europi jednog dana uskoro. No, do onda ostaje da uživamo u novom albumu ovog odličnog benda. Za one koji ne znaju, Volbeat svira metalbilly, nekakvu mješavinu metala i rockabilly/psychobilly-a. Prije nekoliko albuma skrenuli su možda u malo melodičnije, više mainstream vode, ali meni ne smeta, pošto još uvijek pišu odlične pjesme, sa odličnim uvijek prepoznatljivim vokalom Michaela Poulsena. Na ovom albumu nije iznimka, odlični oštri skoro thrash metal riffovi, koji s takvom lakoćom podupiru poletne i odlične harmonije i catchy melodije, himnične refrene i osjećaš se kao da kruzaš po fifties gradu u kadilaku sa svojim gangom dok ti topli kasno proljetni vjetar miluje lici, a topao asfalt i prazna ulica odjekuje batom tvojih čizama i neograničenim snovima. Moje omiljene stvari na ovom albumu su Wait A Minute My Girl, Say No More, Lasse´s BIrgita, a tu je i odlična obrada Metallice Don´t Tread On Me. Odličan album, čak bolji od prošlog.

(review) Volbeat-Rewind, Replay, Rebound

I love Volbeat. I love them since I heard Guitar Gangsters And Cadillac Blood album. I immediately fell in love with their mix of psychobilly, doo wop and metal and I can safely say that they created postulates for the whole new subgenre called metalbilly.
Now, some years later and couple of albums later, the Danes return with their brand new studio album. What almost upon first note falls on mind is the lack of metalbilly anymore. Yes, they went for the whole more melodic approach, slowed some songs down and made them even more catchy than before and yes, maybe more commercial. But, the old Volbeat strong songwriting is still here and Michael Poulsen˙s voice is something that I will never have enough, for me one of the best vocalists in the business, ever. There are couple of sure hits on the album like Cheapside Sloggers, Maybe I Believe or Leviathan. This is definitely not the best Volbeat album, but it is the most melodic and most catchy in their opus and if you are a fan you will love it. I know I do.
