This is also the ║ │ │║ case for the band's seventeenth album in forty ║ │ │║ years. What makes this release stand out is the ║ │ │║ relentless energy and passion the band still has ║ │ │║ after so many years. Anvil sounds hungry, ║ │ │║ juvenile and powerful from start to finish. The ║ │ │║ raw but distinct production only adds to this ║ │ │║ vivid spirit. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The record opens with the amusing ''Bitch in the ║ │ │║ Box'', a great rock song about a GPS that puts a ║ │ │║ big smile upon your face. Mission accomplished. ║ │ │║ The autobiographical and life-affirming ''Doing ║ │ │║ What I Want'' has an irresistible rhythm section ║ │ │║ and a chorus with cool vocal effects that add ║ │ │║ something new to the band sound without straying ║ │ │║ away from it. ''Nanook of the North'' is a ║ │ │║ tribute to Inuit culture and a reminder of the ║ │ │║ horrible things Europeans have done to North ║ │ │║ America's First Nations. Musically, it's a ║ │ │║ gloomy and plodding track with throat singing ║ │ │║ that easily stays on your mind as this record's ║ │ │║ most experimental track. ''Warming Up'' is a ║ │ │║ jazzy rock song with ambitious fills and rhythms ║ │ │║ that shows the great musicianship of the ║ │ │║ underrated Canadian trio. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Depending on the version you have purchased, ║ │ │║ there are two bonus tracks with ''Don't Tell ║ │ │║ Me'' and ''Spark It Up''. Anvil wrote and ║ │ │║ recorded exactly thirteen songs and all of them ║ │ │║ were used for the different versions of this ║ │ │║ album. This shows the confidence of the band and ║ │ │║ the quality of the material. Pounding the ║ │ │║ Pavement doesn't include any fillers and only ║ │ │║ features solid to great material which is quite ║ │ │║ an accomplishment so late in the band's career. ║ │ │║ Obviously, a few songs sound quite alike or ║ │ │║ remind of tracks that have been written in the ║ │ │║ past. Anvil doesn't reinvent itself and this ║ │ │║ album isn't the band's greatest hour but it's ║ │ │║ surely among the band's better releases and a ║ │ │║ true pleasure to listen to. Fans of the band ║ │ │║ will like this and those who might have lived ║ │ │║ under a rock and aren't familiar with Anvil yet ║ │ │║ might as well start their discovery of the ║ │ │║ legendary heavy metal band here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by kluseba for www.metal- ║ │ │║ archives.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lips - Vocals, Guitars ║ │ │║ Christ - Bass ║ │ │║ Robb Reiner - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Bitch In The Box [04:29] │ │ 02 - Ego [02:57] │ │ 03 - Doing What I Want [03:16] │ │ 04 - Smash Your Face [04:20] │ │ 05 - Pounding The Pavement [03:06] │ │ 06 - Rock That Shit [03:21] │ │ 07 - Let It Go [03:00] │ │ 08 - Nanook Of The North [05:57] │ │ 09 - Black Smoke [03:25] │ │ 10 - World Of Tomorrow [04:39] │ │ 11 - Warming Up [03:03] │ │ 12 - Don┤t Tell Me (Bonus Track) [03:52] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [45:25 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
