Customer Reviews cowboys rock It is great guitar playing and good songwritting. This is not their best cd by far,but it is good. My favorites are feel the rage and stress. On this cd the cowboys continue to rock. Buy it you will not be dissapointed. Their best album The third: the final three albums from Horse to Let it Go, which I consider to be relatively weak and inconsistent, but still good. For me, Galactic Cowboys has three periods: The first: excellent melodic metal heavily influenced by Sam Taylor and the "King's X" sound, which includes the album recorded as The Awful Truth, as well as the first two GC albums. And the second: Machine Fish. On this cd they really nailed it. They had stopped trying to clone King's X and abandoned much of the slower, moodier songs for flat-out riff-based metal. Other reviewers had said many of the songs on this cd sound the same -- this is not true at all, unless you think that when every song rocks your face off that they all sound the same. Within that, there is great diversity here: fast songs that rock hard, slower songs that rock hard, quirky songs that rock hard. In short, this album just rocks. I know that their signature sound is all based in the harmonies, blah, blah, blah. Fact is, though, they are a rock band, and they are at their best when they are kicking a**, not sounding lovely. This is THE cd to hear that side of this band. If you like metal, get this disc. You will not be disappointed. Another great GC album They are awesome. I give all Galactic Cowboys album 5 stars. Especially for any lover of Megadethtallica floyd music with beatles/king's x harmony vocals. some songs may be similar (they apparently wrote a lot in drop D locrian/minor on this album) but the slower ones gave it just enough variancy. A great comeback after a temporary breakup. . You can see a complete list of all The Galactic Cowboys discography, or go back to the The Galactic Cowboys tabs
