#5 - Japandroids – Celebration
Rock
From the first crackle of fireworks, to those that fizzle
out at record’s end – this album starts and ends with a bang.
Vancouver’s Brian
King and David Prowse have pulled-off
what is easily the best rock album of the year. Managing to work in light and
shade some two-piece backs just can’t. Celebration Rock does it with an
energy that doesn’t quit, but never tires you out. With lyrics revelling in the
ability to take whatever you love out of life - it’s classic, but never
overindulgent.
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear a slower paced
song on a rock record that isn’t a power ballad. In the year of
Chavril, these guys are may be the glue holding Canadian rock music together. I
can’t wait to hear what they do next.
Japandroids are
the real deal. And that is something worth celebrating.
Top Tracks: The House That Heaven Built , The Nights Of WineAnd Roses, Fire’s Highway, Continuous Thunder , Evil’s Sway
