Impressions/Thoughts:
Monster Truck is
a Canadian hard rock band that was formed in the late 2000’s. I had never heard
of this band before until a good friend of mine mentioned them. It wasn’t until
later after this album was released that I decided to check them out. The first
song I heard was the opening track “Why
Are You Not Rocking?” and I was impressed with the groovy rhythm of their
sound. So after that I quickly bought the album to feast my ears on their
music.
The Music:
The opening track, “Why
Are You Not Rocking?”, is a really fast song that starts the album off with
jolt. It’s a great way to start off speeding right out of the gate. The next
couple of songs “Don’t Tell Me How to
Live” and “She’s A Witch” are
probably some of the most memorable song on the album. They just really groove
and have a heaviness to them that makes your body want to move to the beat.
Following those songs, Monster
Truck changes tone and the track “For
the People” sounds like a song that offers many opportunities for the crowd
to interact with the band. “Black Forest”
on the other hand is mellower and gives me a surreal sensation when I put the
song on. By this point on the album, the songs have a similar groove with some variation.
Although the track “Things Get Better”
has a catchy opening riff that opens into a great song. “The
Enforcer” seems like a real crowd pleaser, and another groovin’ song on the
album.
Sittin’ Heavy album
wraps up with a few good songs and a serene closing track. Overall, it’s a good
way to close out this kick ass album.
Verdict:
Sittin’ Heavy is Monster
Truck’s sophomore studio album release, but they are going places. I really
like the overall sound and the variety of songs on this album. If you like hard
rock that’s just really groovy, then I suggest you check out this album and the
other songs this band has composed.
