Head Down

After taking a chance and buying Pressure and Time without knowing anything about the band I thought what a top album of genuine quality Classic Rock. I was lucky enough to see them live supporting Judas Priest again quality as a live act, so I preordered Head down with hope of it taking them up another level and wow if this album does not take this group into the big league then there is no justice in this world! From the opening riffs of keep on swinging to the closing bars of true this is just a sublime album! For me there is not one bad track on it but there are some that stand way out in front such as the excellent Going all the way and Manifest Destiny Prt 1 which is destined to become there own Freebird or Stairway to Heaven. If you are not sure do as I did and take a chance you will not be disappointed!!

Superb album by an amazing band. Rival Sons are on the verge of tearing the musicindustry up with their 70s based, bluesy driven rock 'n roll power. Their previous albums (Before the Fire, Pressure and Time) are both topclass albums, winking to heroes as Led Zeppelin,... But on the new album, Jays vocals are even more amazing, such a broad voicerange, incredible!
It's their most experimental album so far, but easily amongst the best in their category.
Kicking the album off with the incredibly Keep On Swinging, the touching ballad Jordan in the middle, and the grotesque guitarplaying in Manifest Destiny pt 1 more at the end, this album has it all. A musthave for every musiclover.

do yourself a favor and buy not just the best album of the year but possibly the past decade,obvious comparisons to led zeppelin but they are not a rip off just a respectful nod to past greats .Rival sons will one day be considered in the same breath as some of the rock gods they are compared to.
