| This album started off like an old Stone Temple Pilots riff, sort of mellow, almost drug induced. Sounded pretty solid to begin with, I thought “hey that shows some promise”… then the actual band kicks in. You ever hear an album where the rest of the album ruins one good riff? I have, it’s God’s Revolver. I don’t know if they were attempting to be a mellowed version of Everytime I Die or if they were going for a harsh version of Queens of the Stone Age, either way… this album pretty much blew.
Besides , let’s talk for a second about guns. If god literally did have a gun, do you think he’d have a revolver? Seems sort of out dated and powerless, a revolver gives you what, six to eight shots without having to reload and look like a jackass? With the state the world is in these days, god would have a lot of sinners he’d need to gun down, he’d need an awful lot more than a revolver. I’m thinkin’ double semi-automatic weapons, no silencers… Jesus wants people to know that someone’s died here today, REPENT! TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS!
If I could suggest anything to be put in line for the firing squad, I’d have to sign up this record. Personally, if I owned any firearms, this cd would have been target practice for me already. Not only could God’s Revolver not establish a particular sound, they couldn’t even produce their bastardized sound well. If you’re going to put all sorts of money into a recording, why don’t you make sure your levels are right, that it’s mixed correctly and that it doesn’t sound like you recorded it in a bathroom? That’s a novel idea, right? No, these guys had to go and beat a dead horse with an out of tune guitar, record it on a tape deck and ask me to review it? Yeah right. Get some skills and come back.
