 Diamond's In The Rough Finally Shine August 28, 2008
Now I know a lot of people will instantly dismiss this album because it features 3/4's of The Darkness but thats their loss.
Now i loathed The Darkness but I knew somewhere in the queen rip off merchants there was potential and finally I'm pleased to say they have unlocked some of that said potential.
SS&BB is a good solid Rock album with Metal moments think AC/DC laced with Metallica opening track "Burn The Witch" has got a great riff's and a catchy courus. "You Brought A Knife To A Gun Fight" has the mentioned AC/DC swagger and attitude.
My personal fave's are the more heavier tracks like "Defend Or Die" and "Knight Of The Living Dead" which have the cool straight up Metal riffage throughout.
However this album isn't without it's flaws and the cheesy moment's are still there "Don't Drink The Water" is one track I cannot get into as the lyric's are really bad (basically a song about going Benidorm on holiday)
But minus that this is a really good album and by the time drinking anthem "Oh Where 'O My Beero" comes you've forgotten all about that song.
Hopefully now these boys get the credit they deserve as they now are making music not for the money but for the pure enjoyment of it and with this album you can tell.
Rockin' hard... August 22, 2008
Stone Gods recently formed as Dan Hawkins (The Darkness), Ed Graham (The Darkness) and Richie Edwards (The Darkness). Oh, and Toby MacFarlaine, who replaces Richie on bass, while he switches to guitar.
So that's the Stone Gods. But what about their music?
Well, as you'd expect, there are obvious hints of The Darkness to be heard. However, it is on rare occasions and SG have formed a good sound of their own. Tracks like 'Burn The Witch' tease us with Metal (80's thrash and contemporary), as does 'Defend or Die' and 'Knight of the Living Dead'.
It isn't all Metal though, although they rock harder than The Darkness did, in all honesty. There is more variety here. Richie's vocals are flexible and he sings anything from ballads ('Magdalen Street') to rock power-ballads ('Makin' It Hard', 'Start of Something') and the Metal of the aforementioned tracks.
Dan Hawkins's guitaring is as excellent and articulate as ever, and Dan Graham's drumming is sharp and cohesive. MacFarlaine adds a good sound and his own ideas ('Magdalen Street') to the band.
Overall then, a decent enough album, and I reckon things can only get better for SG.
Who needs Justin Hawkins anyway? These guys have proved they don't. Great album. 9/10.
Amazing album, very pleased I bought it. August 6, 2008

While I was on holidays in Manchester, I bought this album I have heard about this band somewhere before so I decided to buy it and this album absolutely rocks. The riffs by Richie and Dan are brilliant and memorable, the drumming is great and the lyrics are also really good. My favourite songs here are deffinetly Burn The Witch & Defend Or Die both awesome songs. Some of the riffage on this album remind me alot off Megadeth's earlier stuff for example near the end of the song Burn The Witch the riff when I first heard it straight away reminded me off Mustaines riffs on Countdown To Extinction and So Far So Good So What brilliant. The vocals are excellent on this album too. This album is well worth the money if you're just looking for a good rock/metal album with awesome riffs and vocals then this is a great buy. 5 stars for me.
Absolutley Amazing ! July 28, 2008
My copy arrived the other day and hasn't left my Hi-Fi system since! This is a fantastic album. The songs on it are all very heavy and Richies's voice is so loud and powerful, it's deffinatley one of the best rock albums of 2008 if not the best. They are a totally different band from The Darkness so there is no point in comparing them but this album is truly a master piece, a must have for any fan of rock n'roll music.
one the neighbours will have to learn to love July 25, 2008
My copy arrived today and hasn't been off the turntable yet, and I can't see anything shifting it for the foreseeable future. Once you get passed the 'spot the influences' (anyone else think Rory Gallagher on 'I'm with the band'?) this is a great collection of songs, played by a band on top form.
