Royal Hunt
Show Me How to Live
Review by Gary Hill
Make no mistake, “Paradox” and “Moving Target” are the best albums by Royal Hunt. Since they are the only two other Royal Hunt discs (to this point) to feature D. C. Cooper as the lead singer, his return to the band is a welcome piece of news. This album is quite similar to both of its predecessors. That’s both good and bad news. The truth is, the disc is incredible. It will likely be on my list of best for 2011 (at the time of writing this review I haven’t sat down to compile that list). The bad part is, it really seems like more of the same. As great as it is, it seems like there’s no new territory here. We’ve heard it all before. Still, it’s definitely a place worth revisiting.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2012 Volume 1 at lulu.com/strangesound.
