The Eagles of Death Metal: “Heart On” Album Review
The Eagles of Death Metal third album Heart On is possibly the best offering so far from this rock band. The album ranks up on the danceablilty meter with some mesmerizing blues and hard rock sound. This album is one that was looked forward to by their masses of followers around the world when it came out in 2008 on October 21.
Differing much from their previous two albums, Heart On features some really jagged percussion leads that can be heard throughout most of the album. Thus giving listeners a wonderful taste of the artistry of Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes.
The album opens with the party type jam “Anything ‘Cept the Truth” which is signals to everyone just what’s to come on the rest o the songs. One of the more catchy tunes that is somewhat a deviation from the normal Eagles of Death Metal sound is the song “High Voltage” which is filled with some real cool funk guitars fused with a bass that is simply soul buzzing.
Another song that really offers up a new turn for the band is “I’m A Fool” which is a love song about heartbreak that you can jam to. The lyrics are heart pulling and basically speaks for itself.
The song “Cheap Thrills” is a jam that has some mean string action with riveting vocals from Hughes and partner in musical crime Homme. The song may not consider the power jam of the album but it surely deserves a lot of listening.
With this album the Eagles of Death Metal have proven that sex rock is alive and well. Reminiscent in a way of Billy Idol this bands groove is more than what meet the eye or ear for that matter. If anyone does not own a copy of this album you should waste no more time and go get one.
