#1547 Benjamin Booker - Benjamin Booker

An exciting, chugging, soaring, soulful rock record, built on rock-solid elliptical drumming, searing guitars, and Booker's singular gravelly howl. When the tempo's up it's a ton of fun. The slow sections spike hurt and fear. And the transitions between are perfectly timed, the whole thing perfectly paced and full of great moments.

Overproduced // pop? Maybe a little, still one of the great front-to-back listens of the year. 4.5/5
