After 'Power Crazy' dating from 2019, the English of 'The Treatment' are back with a new opus 'Waiting for Good Luck' which continues the all traced route of the previous opus with the singer 'Tom Rampton' who makes us relive the time of the 48 minutes of the opus a certain 'Bon Scott' who could have been still here if he had tried rehab in the 80s. The least that we can say, 'The Treatment' does not do the job half but sends us heavy throughout this opus starting with a 'Rat Race' (see video above) with sharp guitar riffs and which could be a clever mix between 'AC/DC' and 'Def Leppard' at the beginning of the 80s. And it continues in the same vein with titles all as effective as each other like 'Take It Or Leave It' with a rythmic to take down yourself the head by dint of headbanging, or 'Lightning In A Bottle', which follows, without being outdone with its heavy rhythm and its formidably efficient riffs, just before a huge Vampress' which makes us still raise the heart rate. No break in the following titles which follow the same pattern with each one as addictive tempos as the others, with the mid-tempo 'Eyes on You' tagged hard-rock/blues or 'No Way Home' that would not be deny by 'Francis Rossi' or by the late 'Rick Parfitt' as well as 'Hold Fire' or even 'Tough Kid' with its introduction making us slowly increase the pressure with happiness to send us very sharp riffs while keeping beautiful alternations of intensity. And you have to reach 10th track to be able to catch your breath with 'Barman' who sweats a good heavy blues/rock from the 70s that will put you in shape for a whole day, the rest of the album offering us two last addictive compositions 'Let's Make Money' with its chorus to resume at the top of our voice and 'Wrong Way' (see video here), less dynamic but still as melodic, the last track being an acoustic cover of 'Barman' with a wonderful bastringue piano.
In short, no need for long speeches, this last album of the English of 'The Treatment' is a condensed of pure energy to be consumed without moderation and if you like the very famous formations of the 70s/80s of from 'AC/DC' to 'Def Leppard' passing by 'Status Quo', 'Aerosmith' or even 'Scorpions', go ahead and listen to 'Waiting for Good Luck'... | |
