THERAPY? / HIGH ANXIETY

A long time ago, before Good Charlote, Offspring and Blink 182, Therapy were kings of the Pop/Metal song, tracks like "Nowhere" and "Screamager" are classic sing a long Metal but the past few years have not been king to these guy’s. After one totally overlooked album and the previous one met with total indifference I am pleased to say they have found their former verve and panache and this really does deserve the Therapy name on it.

The up tempo catchy tunes are back but still have enough balls and Metal to Rock with a capital R, aptly demonstrated by the first single "If It Kills Me" and there is plenty more like that one on this CD. For proof check out "Hey Satan - You Rock" (my personal fave), the infectious "Who Knows", the Beefhaertish "Rust" punk flavoured "Watch You Go" and not forgetting "Voodoo Doll" which has to be the next single.

This is a very welcome return to form for Therapy? And two fingers thrust in the air for all those who had written them off, lets see is Blink 182 will do as well in tem years time.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 40 mins + 11 TRACKS
