Artist Origin: AUS
Style: fundamental loud rebelious hard rock

much like during two decades leading up to recordings of this release [2000], Australian quintet happily ignore modern musical trends outside their beloved, straightforward, and plain heavy rock'n roll, pleasing the ears by a dozen of tried-and-true, old school all the way hard rock anthems; creations of Young brothers mean business, with Angus guitar sounding particularly assured, reinforcing an established formula without unnecessary embellishments, while Brian's trademark vocals give these compositions additional weight, and rhythm section maintains unwavering stability, allowing every riff and chorus to strike straight at the target, ending up in sonic monsters out of basic elements, thus proving that simplicity in the hands of masters can become an exceptionally effective weapon, confirming massive reputation of historical entity; recent digipak edition comes with liner notes by Alan Di Perna and tons of vintage pictures and other memorabilia in the booklet
