CD Reviews

Finally!! He gives us the album to rival "Born A Lion"!
R. Norton | Somewhere in Georgia | 06/23/2010

"I've been a BIG Danko Jones fan since I heard "Baby Hates Me" several years ago. But, my frustration has been always been that the albums since the awesome "BORN A LION" have not been very consistent. Don't get me wrong, there are some GREAT SONGS on each album - they just haven't been very solid from beginning to end.



This is where "BELOW THE BELT" comes in to finally give us the album to rival "BORN A LION"! This thing is powerful and FULL of the attitude and confidence we expect from a Danko Jones album! Each blistering track gives you something different and the production is dead-on. (Sounds great in headphones too - I've been listening to this album while running).



It's also worth mentioning, and I'm not sure that any "real" Danko fan would truly be offended - but I've heard some saying they were disappointed with his use of occasional "foul" language on several of the tracks. I know this hasn't been common on his past albums, but I personally think it's OK here and (mostly) works to improve the material and attitude of the songs.



Either way, this album just really feels like the band's been energized with new purpose and the quality of the material and performances demonstrate that!



Make sure you get the digi version for the 2 Bonus Tracks -- and grab the vinyl version while you're at it -- Highly recommended!!"
Monstrous !

"What can I say ? It's Danko Jones ! Straight forward rock and roll with GREAT replay value. This album is as good as Born a Lion and We Sweat Blood. At least it's not a repeat of Never Too Loud -- which did a few redeeming songs but...Anyway, if you want to get into the Danko, start here - you won't be sorry, then check out We Sweat Blood, Born a Lion, I'm Alive and On Fire, Sleep is the Enemy, and the B-sides collection even rocks ! And lastly, if you can't get enough- this could happen - ha ha !, get Never Too Loud. And that'll do it ! -- You will LOVE the Danko ! Enjoy! But start here - you won't be sorry !"
