Collateral is a
fusion of subtly-different Rock genres, rather than a fusion of Rock
with anything that isn’t Rock. This at a time when many in the
music industry are busy trying to promote other things. Quite
uncowelled, the lads have decided to give the Rock-loving public what
they want rather than what the hidden hand of market manipulation
thinks they should have and I can see this being very successful.
Most of the tracks
are new, but “Midnight Queen” is included, having been previously
internationally successful as a single and I think it’s likely to
not only remain a favourite with the band’s existing fans, but go
on to make new fans as this album succeeds.
The new tracks
deserve more than one hearing before you make up your mind about
them: give that mind of yours a chance to cue into what’s actually
going on and you’ll like them too! A good album from a band that
are determined to make their own luck.
It is available from the official website, many online retailers and hopefully the surviving High Street ones as well.
