Hard rock super group Adrenaline Mob return with their second full length Men Of Honor. Continuing on the foundation of the sound established with their debut Omerta, this collection of hard rock anthems is backed by strong hook led songwriting and heavy groove led guitar riffs.
The album starts with ‘Mob is Back’ that sounds almost exactly like Nickelback‘s ‘Burn it to the Ground’. Russell Allen’s vocals sound like a combination of Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback.
the next track ‘Come On Get Up’ catches you by surprise. Its one of the weakest tracks on the album, despite the strong hook, the theme in the lyrics doesn’t seem to flow with the rest of the album.The album then ambitiously takes a step in a different direction, with the ballad ‘Behind These Eyes.’ The track is bold, yet not the best representation of what the rest of the album is like. There are more tracks that are in similar such as ‘Crystal Clear’ and ‘Fallin’ To Pieces.’ The first is a great example of the talent this band features.
‘House Of Lies’ and ‘Men Of Honor’ are the real driving forces behind this record with their strong hooks that get stuck in your head, the huge riffs and masterful solos. But as a whole, there is a lot that needs to be done before Adrenaline Mob reach their potential.
