It's been a long time coming but the mighty Loader are back! As usual, they don't disappoint. After making us diehard fans wait, the boys have thrown us their most accomplished album to date. Such gems like 'They're Trying to Kill Me' and 'Bad End' give you a little taste of their rock n' roll pedigree, while 'Sorry Day' should (rightly so) send them into chart heaven. Every song is fantastic, the production is a lot sweeter than their last album 'Last of the V8 Intercepters' and bodes very well for the future. 4 albums in and they keep getting better and better. Probably the best Aussie rock outfit around - I dare say the Queens of the Stone Age will attest to that!

I have been a Front End Loader fan since way back when. Their out n' out rock n' roll, coupled with the dryest sense of humour across the land, have endeared me to them since their 2nd album 'Let's Ride' and the follow-up 'Last of the V8 Interceptors'. Album after album, they release probably the most underrated, foot stomping rock n' roll that any lesser band would be immensly proud of. The fact that they have been (criminally) overlooked in the Aussie rock music scene doesn't hide the fact that they keep coming up trumps. Bow Campbell has one of the most distinctve, powerful rock voices around; Pete Kostic keeps the rhythm that F.E.L. absolutely depend on, in check, Richie is so tight on the bottom end and Davis....well, he's Davis! The new album, again, [beats] anything else released by so-called rock bands the world over. Do yourself a favour and pick this one up - you won't be disappointed.

I didn't really know much about Front End Loader until about a month ago when I saw them live twice opening for another Aussie band - Grinspoon. They were absolutely brilliant! I went and bought this album straight away and it's easily one of the best cds released in 2002. There isn't a single song that I dislike on the whole cd. They're an amazing live band as well, and I pity anyone who will never get the chance to see them.
