![]() This song wouldn’t feel out of place on an 80s movie like Terminator or Robocop. “ What Goes Around” brings us rocking back to the present day – well, almost. And that’s almost exactly what happens, with a salvo of drums to usher in the slightly rockier chorus. If you close your eyes when “ Judgement Day” comes on, you almost taste the whiskey as you sit in a Wild West saloon, waiting for the inevitable gunfight to happen. It’s clear to see why this has been chosen as the first single off the album – it showcases each member of the band’s abilities, while simultaneously melding them into one all-powerful song. Indeed, the entire song feels a bit bluesy, in the best possible way. “ Burn It Down” brings things back to a slightly slower pace, with a feel of Bon Jovi (back before they went a bit more mainstream-y) to the song. This is the sort of song that will, inevitably, become a staple of Dead Daisies’ sets for the foreseeable future. “ Rise Up” immediately gets your foot tapping and your head nodding. Yes, “ Resurrected” is a brilliant song – but it really is just the tip of the iceberg here. This was definitely a good idea and not something I should have put off. So, after numerous listenings to “ Resurrected”, I figured it was time to move on to the rest of the album. Not that I’ve heard it before, but…well, honesty I’m not sure how to explain what I mean. I’ve never listened to the Dead Daisies before, but this song felt somehow…familiar. There were no such problems here – in fact, I listened to Resurrected four times before I ventured further into the album. I’m a firm believer that if the opening track of an album doesn’t grab you by the proverbials and make you want to keep listening, then there isn’t much point continuing on – after all, an album is only as good as its weakest track. The opening of the first track, “ Resurrected”, dispelled any doubts though. The Dead Daisies aren’t exactly in that category – in all honesty, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I started listening. There are some bands that you can almost guess what they’ll sound like, just by their name – Rammstein would be one, and even Iron Maiden to a certain extent.
