ABSOLUTE MONARCHS: “1” — Rockin’ from Seattle. Reminiscent of the original punk wave of the late ’70s, and AC/DC reincarnated. — Sunshine, April 2014

1) “Attack” — Rockin’/ Upbeat loud rhythms on strings.

*** 2) “To Hell, Let’s Masquerade” — Sinister laid-back bluesy rock. Think mellow C/DC.

3) “Bad Taste” — Garage power-chord trio sounding.

4) “Fell In Love” — Start your engines! Dueling rhythms. Loud metal-ish sound.

5) “Killing The Old” — Quick spy-like paced beats. Pseudo soundtrack. Then, AC/DC vocals.

6) “Thinking Thieves” — Ready to rumble. Rustling strings, then loud, pounding, heavy hammer.

7) “It’s Bad” — Comparatively slow, plodding beat. “Mellow” by this band’s standards.

** 8) “ Sharp” — Winding up your rubber-band powered airplane. Cool beats, and somewhat melodic sound. Screaming vocals.

** 9) “Hide It Well” — Fast and slow paces meld. Screaming vocals, but cool instrumentation. Slightly minor “bridge”.

10) “Bled Out” — Ringy-Dingy. Strummed strings, with electronic background. Then somewhat melodic accompaniment.
