The Black Lips have always been a band that thrives on chaos and unpredictability, but on their latest album "Underneath The Rainbow", they have found a new sense of focus and maturity...well, kind of.
From the opening track "Drive-By Buddy", with its gritty guitars and infectious hooks, to the psychedelic vibes of "Boys in the Wood", the Black Lips have crafted an album that effortlessly blends their signature lo-fi garage rock sound with more polished production.
Lead singer Cole Alexander's vocals are as unruly and raw as ever, while the band's guitar work remains ferocious and untamed.
Tracks like "Smiling" and "Dorner Party" showcase the band's ability to write catchy, anthemic songs that will have you singing along after just one listen.
But don't worry, the Black Lips haven't completely abandoned their wild side.
Songs like "Funny" and "Loser's Lament" are a reminder that this band is still ready to get weird and push boundaries.
"Underneath The Rainbow" is a testament to the Black Lips' ability to grow and evolve without losing sight of what makes them truly unique.
So grab a beer, crank up the volume, and let the Black Lips take you on a wild ride through their twisted musical world.
Cheers, lads! Rating: 8/10
