Airbourne - ‘Breakin’ Outta Hell’
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Back with their forth album, Airbourne’s latest release once again sees the Australian hard-rockers dish up classic ’80s-style rock ‘n’ roll anthems that share more than a passing resemblance to the likes of fellow Aussie party starters AC/DC.
‘Rivalry’ and ‘Get Back Up’ are full of gruff vocals and gang-chants. Elsewhere, the title track and ‘When I Drink I Go Crazy’ offer the kind of ripping solos that the four-piece have become known for.
Admittedly, it’s easy to sneer at this album for its lack of diversity, but it’s a tried and tested formula. And, for Airbourne it’s one that works.
