![]() ![]() Guns has tour dates in the USA this spring. The second I finished listening, I went right back to the beginning again, knowing I would enjoy it and notice more the second time around. The album is a great mix of hard rock, and classic rock-influenced songs, making it enjoyable for any listener. Listening, I can hear every band member’s parts and how cohesive everything sounds together. The album feels like a strong representation of the band by demonstrating both their heavier rock songs like You Betray and Got It Wrong and their classic rock-inspired side with more acoustic tracks like Diamonds and Gonna Lose. The album finishes strong with the heavier Like A Drug, bringing Black Diamonds to a close. Probably my favourite track on the album, it’s dynamic in every way. It starts off gentle, almost cinematic and explodes into a hard rocking chorus. The bassline work of Johnny Martin is fun and recognisable. The band knows how to give us beautiful, melodic guitars thanks to the talents of Tracii Guns and Ace Von Johnson. Gonna Lose is another power ballad-like delight.

We see the softer side of the band with the third track, Diamonds. Second track, Wrong About You, has an ’80s swagger about it, with powerful drum fills and lyrics of “I think the boys are wrong about you.” Lewis’s vocals are electric and distinctive, and this song will certainly be on repeat for me. Guns, but it will bring something new to their discography. I immediately know this album will be a fun listen. The album opens with You Betray, which is heavy and sleazy from the opening riff.
