The Wildhearts are back with their new album ‘Chutzpah!’,
the album was recorded in Denmark with producer
Jacob Hansen and is a proper tub thumper of an album
that is very different to anything that the band
have ever created before, the album is my favourite
ever Wildhearts album and I am sure many other people
feel the same way as me.
The album kicks off with ‘The Jackson Whites’
the song sounds massive with its crunching guitar
riffs and loud yet catchy vocals which really
stand out during the explosive chorus, the song
is a perfect start to the perfect Wildhearts album
which features 10 stunning tracks which are all
great in their own special way.
‘Plastic Jebus’ is a bit of a techno
electronic song, which also has big sounding chunky
guitar riffs that has the power to rip right through
you, the chorus to the song is really melodic
with computerized special effects making the vocals
sound slightly creepy. The lyrics to the song
are fun and true to life with Ginger stating that
he has been looking for a new direction, and he
has sure found a new direction, infact the whole
band have found a new direction within the songs
on ‘Chutzpah!’.
‘The Only One’ is the token slow
song that builds up over time to take you on a
melodic sing-a-long journey that you are never
going to forget. ‘John Of Violence’
is an aggressive song that starts off with chunky
guitar riffs and then goes of an ride that sounds
like early Feeder material before the sing-a-long
melodic chorus comes in. ‘You Are Proof
That Not All Women Are Insane’ is bound
to become a live favourite with the crowd joining
in when the group vocals of “woaaah, woaaah”
come in.
‘Tim Smith’ see’s The Wildhearts
go all aggressive metal on us, with thick and
fast chunky guitar riffs, huge basslines, blistering
drumming and in your face raw screamy vocals,
but then half way through the song it takes an
unexpected turn and the vocals turn melodic.
For ‘Chutzpah!’ it seems like The
Wildhearts have gone back to the drawing board
and decided that they need to create an album
where every song is so different from each other
and where they create a song from every genre
of the alternative music scene leading to a truly
diverse album.
‘Chutzpah!’ is The Wildhearts at
their best, it’s a 36minute long album that
features 10 stunning tracks, it’s fun, fast,
energetic, aggressive and even mellow in places
and it is the perfect Wildhearts album for anyone
who wants to know what the band are all about.
5/5
