MP3: The Soundtrack of Our Lives - Thrill me
Despite the new Soundtrack of Our Lives double-album "Communion" being entirely way too long, it does have a couple standouts and "Thrill me" is one of them; a classic rock'n'roll stomper with simple, memorable lyrics, easily modded for a live show highlight. Surprises are nonexistent, but I haven't expected as such from TSOOL for years, so I'm not disappointed. They've settled into a comfortable middle age, keeping their fans happy by delivering consistently decent music. Very careerist, very predictable. Safe without being tedious. So the new record is padded with filler? So what? I don't expect them to ever blow me away again like when I first heard them, nor should they bother. "Thrill me" isn't so thrilling as much as it is an appeasement. I'll take it.
