The Dirty Nil
Free Rein To Passions
Dine Alone Records
The latest album by Canadian rockers The Dirty Nil, Β Free Rein To Passions,Β is a rock record that instantly reminds you of the late 90s and early 2000s when rock dominated the charts. It is not nearly as good or groundbreaking as the majority of the songs or bands that were at the top of the charts at the time, but it still is a decent album.
Free Rein To PassionsΒ is a record that needs to be blasted. The drums are wild, the vocals are passionate and βin your face,β and the guitars are nasty. βNicer Guyβ and βBlowing Up Things In The Woodsβ have a very energetic and fun attitude reminiscent of bands like Sum 41 and Blink-182, though they lack the catchiness those bands possessed.
The guitar riffs are gritty, explosive, and aggressive, often combining the styles of grunge and thrash metal. From the hard-rocking opening track βCelebrationβ to the 2000s punk-inspired βStupid Jobsβ, the album never lets up and gets angrier and louder. βFree Rein To Passionsβ has the coolest-sounding riff from the record. It is chaotic, lively, and erratic.
Overall,Β Free Rein To PassionsΒ is a worthwhile album, especially if you are looking for something that you want to play as loud as possible.
