The Company Band pretty much sounds like you might think - a bunch of alt-hard-rock guys got together and made themselves an alt-supergroup. I liked the "Sign Here, Here and Here" EP, but I can't say it rocked my world. So at first listen I thought this self-titled was fine. Nothing ground-breaking, but a quality CD.
But here's the thing: I just keep listening to it. Over and over again. And I'm enjoying it a lot more than some more critically acclaimed loud music that came out this year. So maybe novelty is overrated. The Company Band has no "prog-leanings", no "linked song cycles", no "jazz inflections" and no interminable four-part eleven-minute soundscapes (lookin' your way, Mastodon...). It's just ten tight songs that take care of business and don't overstay their welcome. The Company Band is packed with catchy hooks, typically awesome Neil Fallon lyrics that make me want to sing along, and a general feel of five guys who know what they are doing and are having a great time doing it. There's something awesome about that.
And now I'm going to go listen to it again.

Straight up some good rock. I really dig "Hot Topic Woman" and the lyrics make me smile every time I listen. If you're a Clutch fan then don't miss out on this rockin' album! It does not disappoint!

As a musician and a listener I can be picky. I also have a wide range of likes. This is the one you will go to when you can't decide amongst all the other bands and songs in your collection. At first you will go...sure it's ok...then you will realize you've had it on repeat for three days.
