Review

I've just never been able to get that into Gun Barrel. I enjoyed Battle Tested back in the day, but everything of theirs I have heard since has veered farther and farther from kicking asses and more into shaking them instead. This is competent, but the guitar tone is toothless, and the songs are far too sleaze-rock and bluesy for my taste. I don't hate this, but I don't see much value in it.
