Definitely Not A Struggle To Listen To This CD
The title track is the killer tune on this release. It's a classic example of the singer's song writing ability. Bill Mallonee not only sings and plays the guitar very well, he also composes great music to go along with his appealing lyrics. "Aftermath" is also a quality cut, and one of the four great songs on this cd; the other three being "Glory And The Dream" - "All Messed Up" - and "Welcome To Struggleville."

It seems that most rock albums have four exceptionally good tracks with the rest of the record being good except for maybe one or two throw aways. But with music taste being so subjective, no one can really be the ultimate judge on what songs are great and which ones suck. It all comes down to opinion. That not only applies to songs but also to reviews of the band itself. Furthermore, using words to describe music can be tricky. If a reviewer describes to you the sound of a group, one that you never heard before, can you safely assume you know what that group sounds like? Maybe. Maybe not.

Of course, it helps if you can compare the group to another band that they sound like. That will give your reader an idea of the noise the group makes, but its not so good for the group. Its always better to have your own style and not sound like anyone else.

With that said, I must admit that I can't think of any group that the Vigilantes Of Love sound like. Not that their sound is that unique. In fact, they have a general rock style, but its hard to nail down. They're from Georgia, but you can't really hear the South in their music. Some of the guitar work has a hard edge, but you won't hear heavy metal. And when they play fast, you couldn't call it punk. It'll suffice to say that even though I can't hear the nineteen seventies in this cd, I think it would not sound out of place being played on "classic rock" stations.

However, the throw away tunes that I would not play on the radio are, "Last To Know" and "I Can Explain Everything." Not bad, considering there are eleven other songs on the cd.

If you've seen Titanic, get this CD!
Bill Mallonee's lyrical miracle is contained in this album. The song "Vet" is haunting and at the same time intriguing as well as great to listen to. If you are someone or know someone who was in the Viet Nam War, you need to hear this album. If you've seen the movie "Titanic", listen to "Babylon".
