Cky - ‘Carver City’

Rating: 7

CKY continue to play rock like they just crawled out of a scrap with World Under Blood and Gnarkill, triumphantly emerging JD bottle in hand. Comfortably positioned between Viking Skull and Fireball Ministry, their fifth album ‘Carver City’ inaugurates a different kind of sound to 05’s ‘An Answer Can Be Found’, preferring a more insolent delivery overall. ‘Woe Is Me’ and ‘Imaginary Threats’ fizzle with menace, more so than on former releases like ’96 Quite Bitter Beings.’ It’s a familiar realm but revisited, this time without all the bullshit of inner band bust ups, and the result is better focused, clearer sounding rock.
