Review
Cowboys
& Aliens return with their 5th
album – Horses Of Rebellion. This album sees the legendary Stoner
Rock band add a more thunderous Alternative Rock groove to their
classic Stoner based sound. The album is more aggressive compared to
their previous albums and it’s good to hear the band trying
something different instead of releasing the same album over and over
again.
The
album never stops with it’s fast-paced aggression from the opening
song – Soaking – for the majority of the album. Cowboys & Aliens will please not only long-time fans of the and but also
the casual observer or first time listener. As this album ticks all
the right buttons with melodic psychedelic Desert/Stoner Rock sounds
that bands such as Kyuss and Monster Magnet made famous back in the
day. Though please remember this band has been going strong since
1996. Well they did have a brief 5 year hiatus from 2006 to 2011. The
fact remains that it’s still great these guys are still around
making great music such as Horses Of Rebellion.
Horses
Of Rebellion has it’s fair share outstanding songs such as:
Soaking, Two Time A Man, Sheep Bloody Sheep, Horses Of Rebellion,
Morning Again, Hollow and Release. The only weak part of the album is
the final song – Splendid Isolation. As the song doesn’t really
go anywhere and leaves you wanting more. Maybe it was best to end the
album with a different song.
Apart
from that minor complaint, Horses Of Rebellion is a great album and
sounds excellent from the start. The production is first-rate and this
allows the album to flow at such a natural and addictive pace. If
you’re in the mood for a heavier and different style of Stoner Rock
then Horses Of Rebellion has you fully covered and proves once again
why Cowboys & Aliens are one of the best Stoner Rock bands the
European scene has to offer.
