I think it is 10 years since the last nazareth studio recording and this offering is well worth the wait. Not a bad track on the album. I have been a fan since the 70's and can't wait to see them "live" again and hear some of these new tracks.
Well I'm the first person on Play.com to review this album, which is a great honour.
I've been a fan for a relatively short time (2-3 years). However, I now own the entire Nazareth back catalogue on CD and I am very familiar with their music.
I saw this band live for the first time at the Carling Academy in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Feb 2008. They absolutely blew me away!
If the five tracks they played from the new album were anything to go by, then it was gonna be a good one, no mistake!
Well, this album is the heaviest rocker that the band has ever produced, and yes it's heavier than the 'No Mean City' album. The disc features 13 great songs and 1 wonderfully wierd hidden bonus track.
The new line up featuring founder members Dan McCafferty and Pete Agnew, with relatively new-comers Lee Agnew and Jimmy Murrison, show us that this group has successfully re-invented itself for the 21st century and is capable of surviving for at least another 20… more »

The album covers many subjects, such as how our society has gone to the dogs, people who need to get a life instead of being hooked on the internet 24-7, relationships, tragedies of war and a certain lying american president.
The band have managed to stay faithful to the old Nazareth sound, but with a modern twist. It all works perfectly.
I cannot understand why this very under-rated scottish group has been so poorly treated in the UK in the past. I really hope that they'll now get the recognition they deserve and keep releasing new product in the years ahead.
We desperately need older, decent groups like Nazareth (especially in the UK), to show us how real music is produced and to get rid of all this boy, girl band and x-factor crap before it's too late!!
