            █  With vocalist Mark Fox firmly and permanently back  █
            █  in the fold (at least for now), Swiss metal band    █
            █  Shakra returns with their eleventh album, Snakes &  █
            █  Ladders. As expected from Shakra, this album is a   █
            █  do-over, a consistent repetition of their           █
            █  signature melodic heavy metal infused with a hard   █
            █  rock groove.                                        █
            █                                                      █
            █  Suffice to say then, if you're a fan of the band,   █
            █  you know what you're getting and you'll be pleased  █
            █  with this album. The signature Shakra elements      █
            █  remain: razor sharp riffs in twin guitar harmony,   █
            █  rabid guitar solos, a thundering rhythm section,    █
            █  and Fox's Bryan Adams-like raspy vocals. Then they  █
            █  invest all these things with a catchy melodies and  █
            █  a hard rock groove. Sometimes their heavy metal     █
            █  can have an AOR-like accessibility as with          █
            █  Something You Don't Understand and The Seeds. Or    █
            █  Shakra can take a turn to a heavy metal ballad      █
            █  with Open Water. But mostly there's hard and heavy  █
            █  metal rockers like Friday Nightmare, The Race Of    █
            █  My Life, and I Will Rise Again, with its cowbell    █
            █  start. Alternatively, while it's subtle, there      █
            █  seems to be a latent blues groove to Rollin'. In    █
            █  the end, Snakes & Ladders is simply Shakra being    █
            █  Shakra, delivering melodic heavy metal infused      █
            █  with a hard rock groove. As the old adage goes, if  █
            █  it ain't broke, don't fix it.                       █
