Release Notes:
--------
Monster Truck's sophomore record doesn't mess around. The Hamilton rock ensemble
present us with a clear assertion of what they want to do here, and that is,
simply, to rock. What listeners get is a healthy slab of heavy, blues-oriented
rock, complete with all of the expected classic rock tropes and with some
southern tinged tones.
"She's a Witch" is heavy riff-oriented fare, with an effective hook and
wide-open southern grooves. "For The People" and closer "Enjoy the Time" are
also highlights, with their Skynyrd-esque southern soul balladry. Things do
start to feel a bit tired, though, on the unmemorable "Another Man's Shoes," as
it trudges along without really finding its pace.
The band's rhythm section stays deep in the pocket, as exemplified on shameless
rocker "Things Get Better," on which the guitars play leading roles and vocalist
(and bassist) Jon Harvey provides the perfect centerpiece to deliver this kind
of sleazy rock'n'roll testament.
Monster Truck are exactly inventing the wheel here, but Sittin' Heavy is
redeemed by the band's refusal to care about that one bit. They know their
audience, and they bring the goods to them in brash and cocksure fashion.
