A real refreshing album from the Americans to call themselves Karma To Burn. They have new songs ready, and 3 of them are sung by a stony vocal performance like it's not their strongest side. The 3-man band do the rest of the material pure instrumental with an enthusiasm not to be ignored. A thrilling blend of country, hard rock, heavy guitars serves as their most octane force when they're rocking away. Perhaps it's hard to get good feedback when 5 of the 8 songs are done instrumental, but it works alright for Karma To Burn. With a skilled guitar handling they stride through one song after another, but to recognize each song from the other could give some problems, because Karma To Burn names their songs with a number: 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51. Yes, you read correctly, this is the way they do it. Two songs, Jimmy Dean and The Cynic are blessed with stony vocals and the finishing act is a cover version of the old Black Sabbath hit Never Say Die which I find to honor Black Sabbath in a decent way. But the other songs are also fine, especially 50 and 51. We are not in a Chinese cafeteria, but I also like no. 48 very much with its pumping rock'n'roll sound.
