“High Hopes”
- A decent down beat kind of rocker. Bruce's vocals are the star
of the song. The groove is infectious as well. Score: 8
“Harry's Place”
- This one didn't really speak to me. I don't like when Bruce
uses his low whisper voice. Plus the lyrics don't make me want to go
to Harry Place. Score: 4
“American Skin
(41 Shots)” - This song is brilliant – which is what I expect
from Bruce. Engaging music, top shelf lyrics, and emotionally real
vocals. Score: 10
“Just Like Fire
Would” - A middle of the road rocker that has a decent melody
and average lyrics. Filler track. Score: 5
“Down In The
Hole” - I didn't think I was going to like this song, but the
haunting melody got through to me. This would make nice background
music if I was like studying for a test or doing my taxes. Score:
7
“Heaven's Wall”
- This song falls victim to the overly repetitive chorus.
Annoying to say the least. The music isn't much better. This song is
a pass. Score: 2
“Frankie Fell
In Love” - This song is cute. I like when Bruce tells a story,
but the whiny vocals on this one made me cringe. Score: 5
“This Is Your
Sword” - This track has an Irish rock feel. Bruce puts his
signature vocals on it which makes it awesome. I like the vibe of
this track – it was fun to hear. Score: 8
“Hunter of
Invisible Game” - This one feels like another Irish folk tale.
The story seems to go on forever, but never really climaxes or
catches my attention. The vocals are weak on this one as well. Score:
4
“The Ghost Of
Tom Joad” - This song is epic. It builds and builds and then
explodes with phenomenal guitar riffs and fantastic lyrics. Score:
10
“The Wall” -
The music is beyond boring on this track. I mean welcome to
Snoozeville. Bruce's lyrics are puzzling. I have no idea what he was
saying nor do I care. Score: 0
“Dream Baby
Dream” - Another repetitive chorus song. Nothing to listen here
folks, move along. Score: 2
Average Track
Score: 5.4 Would I recommend this to my friends? Doubtful. There
just isn't enough meat on this album.
Escaladers,
