Reviews For "The Final Cut"
A CUT Above The Rest...
by tombie on 4/23/2020
I was blessed to have received this album from my good friend and half of this rockin' duo, Paul May, the day it was released and have been rockin' it on my phone ever since. I am an old school rocker at heart and when something new is released with that old school vibe, I tend to get a little excited. And when it's something that is this good, well... I get a lot excited!
I have thoroughly loved everything they've put out and this one is no exception. From the raw, live feel production to the metal vocal onslaught of former Judas Priest vocalist, Al Atkins, to the guitar wizardry of Paul May... this album ROCKS!!!
I have been listening to it quite a bit and have not found the desire to hit skip on any song. Each one rocks and captivates my grey matter from start to finish. This could be one of my favorite albums for 2020. I know it's still early in the year but this one is going to be hard to beat.
Although I love each track, my favorites (at least today) are "When The Bell Tolls" and "War In Between". I'm sure that will change tomorrow but if I have to pick a favorite or ten.
So overall, this is another excellent, old school, hard rockin', headbanging, foot stomping, fist pumping... oh, you get the idea. Live raw production, cool album art, excellent songs, I'd grab this one if I were you. If you're a rocker at heart then this is HIGHLY recommended, else I don't know you.
