Album Review: Massive - Destination Somewhere

Each occasion a fleet-fingered guitar solo or anthemic chorus arrives while spinning Destination Somewhere, down a shot of whatever booze is readily at your disposal. If not under the table by halfway through the record, you'll be appropriately lubricated to embrace this LP.

The Aussies' sophomore effort packs a barrage of four-on-the-floor rockers bristling with swagger. Bass grooves and even cowbell enhance the effect. Sinking Ship's sleazy riffage could endear them to the spandex and hairspray crowd. There's few surprises (bluesy The Way It's Always Been's a fleeting point of difference), but what Massive lack in innovation they regularly compensate for with unadulterated vigour.
