Album Review: Monster Truck - Sittin' Heavy

On their second full-length, Ontario's Skynyrd-worshipping southern rockers Monster Truck deliver 11 slabs of heavy groove with little regard for hooks.

Outside of the sweeping, Freebird-esque singalong choruses of Don't Tell Me How To Live and Enjoy The Time, that is. These semi-ballads certainly add to the record's potency, but it would've been nice for the band to mix the soup a little bit more, rather than resigning to chugga-chugga choruses for the album's heavier tunes which are, otherwise, pretty killer. Boot-scooter Things Get Better demonstrates that there is a lot to be said for what is here, even if some elements are missing.
