Guardian's new album, Bottle Rocket is yet another step in the
evolution of Guardian's music. Steve Taylor has
produced their album a second consecutive time, bringing in Taylor-written lyrics, & an
influence in sound. With their last album, buzz, being a big step
from the arena rock sound of Miracle Mile and earlier albums,
Bottle Rocket shows the band wanting to keep up with the
times. It's is more alternative than buzz, but still remains to
stay Guardian. The album is driven by fuzzy guitars, moving
rhythms and powerful, inspiring lyrics, stripping the angst of
buzz & picking up a positive message, illuminating in the title
cut, which is a 90's version of "This Little Light of Mine."
Although the modern/hard rock sound of songs like "Are We
Comfortable Yet," & "Coffe Can" might churn the stomach of a
devout Miracle Mile fan, the album is a must for the die-hard Guardian
fan. And even if you hated Miracle Mile; Swing, Swang, Swung;
or even buzz; I still recommend checking out the fresh
explosive change of Bottle Rocket.
