Peter Coyne, The Godfathers only remaining original member said he wanted their new album to be a….”Kick arse contemporary Rock’n’Roll record that expands upon the musical legacy of the great Godfathers albums – Hit By Hit, Birth School Work Death, More Songs About Love And Hate and Unreal World. And I believe we’ve done that.” and he’s right, they have! Peter maybe the last man standing, but ….these new boys of his rock in a way The Godfathers have never rocked before, there are some anthemic moments like the albums closing track You and Me against the World, which is a real lighters in the air guitarfest moment for outsiders everywhere. The whole affair is kicked off by the post apocalyptic sonic molotov cocktail of the title and opening track A Big Bad Beautiful Noise, which like several on the album; Defibrillator and Feedbackinghave heavy traces and large doses of Hawkwindesq spaced out psychedelia and Stooges stoner rock, others, like One Good Reason verge toward Lou Reed and Velvet Underground, while You Don’t Love Me and Lets Get Higher recall the The Godfathers of old. Then there are some new Pop/Rock hooks on Till My Heart Stops Beating and the tribal stomp of Poor Boys Son plus an aching guitar ballad She’s Mine It is indeed contemporary, check out Miss America for a timely attack on the land of the free, and musically, well some of these tracks wouldn’t sound out of place on a Primal Scream album. Big Bad Beautiful Noise….It does what it says on the tin and more It is a potent and explosive mixture of songs, something for everyone, an album that makes you feel…. so alive! What more can you ask for in a Rock’n’Roll record?
