Rating: If you're looking for virtuosity, brilliant rhythmic solutions, or that new polka-gregorian rock that so feeds your seasoned audiophile musical perversions, throw the album away and forget about this quintet, because the Last Vegas have something entirely different to offer.
From the first minute of "Beat to Hell," it becomes crystal clear where they're heading: the drums forcefully pound, a guitar roars, and a scream from Chad Cherry flings open the doors to the realm of unapologetic, angry choruses that will stubbornly get stuck in your head. The guitars carve riffs into metal, challenging the stillness of your body, which will thank you by pumping a bit of adrenaline into your system.
For the 45-minute duration of the album, we are escorted by the hand on a backward journey that will make us rediscover that '80s heavy metal, lightened by the weight of the years, tamed and embittered by the experience now accumulated by the group.
An extremely homogeneous album, in which it's essential to mention "My Way Forever," if only because it excellently encapsulates everything said so far, and the last track, the obligatory power ballad, the ultimate extreme tribute to the group's stylistic origins.
