IN REVIEW: Volbeat - "Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie"


Fans of the Danish hard rockers' first five records shouldn't be put off too much by album number six, as it's by and large more of the same. However, this one does lean a lot harder on their melodic side, with nearly every track packing a radio-ready mindset. This might be bad news for those who prefer their meatier, more metallic songs, but this record was tailor made for radios and stadiums. That said, it's a very well executed Big Rock Record, rife with single material while even finding time for a few surprises (A choir? Bagpipes? A faithful cover of Georgia Satellites' Battleship Chains?) to make any sense of stagnation a little easier to swallow.
