"Pop The Cork" by Static Paradise doesn't mess around. We're talking straight up rock with no funny business. Alright, maybe a litle funny business. It's all about hooks, riffs and lyrical debauchery with this band. The musicianship is superior, with some great guitar work and steady beats. The overall sound of the album is raw. You'll hear some guitars buzzin' from time to time. It's a fun ride, for sure. "Judgement Day" leads things off with heavy guitars and a big Southern attitude. Another notable is "Temptation," moving from a traditional blues riff into an "walk in the clouds" feel with heavenly female backups. "Sacred Cow" wraps things up, taking you to outer space with a drum machine, synths and a sitar/guitar. If you like The Stones on a bender with Sonic Youth, try some Static.
