A copy of the album arrived on my desk the other week. Alongside a pile of other CDs by more well-known artists, I decided to check out the stuff by the bands i'd heard of and liked before giving this a chance.
I now, really, REALLY wish that I had've stuck it on much sooner, it started out sounding a lot like the Rolling Stones.... and then I listened to more of the album. Try to imagine the rock of the Rolling Stones, crossed with the gospel-funkiness of Alabama 3, with more Hammond organ than the Charlatans can shake a stick at.
I first heard track 6 off this album a couple of months ago. It's a cover of "Safe from Harm" by Massive Attack. I was so blown away by how well they had covered it (the DJ didnt say who it was), i spent the next 3 weeks scouring the internet trying to find out who it was. I failed miserably.
Anyway, I dug the cd from the pile earlier today, dropped it in the stereo, and liked what i heard. Then along came track 6. I flipped. I couldn't believe i'd finally stumbled across the song i'd spent so long looking for. Why didn't I listen to the CD sooner?
As for the rest of the album? Very impressive. Standout tracks for me were "mo Trilogy", "personal savious" and "On my mind", although all of the songs are good. Theres no filler on this baby whatsoever.
Singer "K" sounds like Mick Jagger, And I have a sneaking suspicion his heroes may include Tom Jones and Elvis. The band are gospel one minute and full on funk the next. I can't help but keep comparing them to Alabama 3 in style. This is not a bad thing. There should be more bands with this kind of originality instead of the mindless corporate mentality of most of the current glut of bands doing the rounds at the moment. If the nu-metal chancers had half of this bands style and originality, the world would be a much better place.
a wonderful, wonderful album. My week suddenly just brightened up no end.
"K" has left the building. thankyouverymuch

The charts eh? Nothing new there. But here we have it. A good band, These Animal Men, rejig, get a new singer and become a great band. Soul mixed with Rock and Roll. Oasis meets James Brown in a bar, and they party all night.
I first heard Personal Saviour (the best track) on Radio 1, and thought it was superb. Then I heard Safe from Harm and knew it was time to start paying attention. K's voice is great, and the band know how to back him up, without over doing it.
If you want to find something new to listen to, these guys are definatly worth checking out. SUPERB.

This is an amazing album - I wrote a great review but thanks to the crap web design of this site I lost it - hey Amazon after I write my text can you please not loose it when I click BACK to make a correction!
Anyway... this band just has the talent and probably the best vocals I've heard in 30 years. Their Soul, Gospel Rock n Roll style is pure energy and emotion combined with a touch of Motown. You can not feel uplifted after listening to this album. Solid Gold has a great Hendrix style vocal, Come Together is very gospel. This album has a strong sixties soul, gospel blues influence but is very up to date. Great guitar work, strong rhythm section, lovely organ, super backing vocals, amazing vocals and song writing. Some tracks are bit INXS. On My Mind just rocks. Buy it and you will not regret it. Like me you'll be wanting to know - when is their next album out?
