Sophomore slump? Not bloody likely. Matt Mays & El Torpedo (MM&ET) return with Terminal Romance, the brilliant follow up to 2005’s breakthrough self-titled debut. Terminal Romance was recorded in England with producer Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, The Tragically Hip) and mixed in Vancouver with Mike Fraser (AC/DC) with a few sessions home in Halifax thrown in along the way. The album’s first single “Tall Trees” is already Top 20 at Canadian Rock Radio.

The album is a huge leap forward, both in terms of Mays’ song writing and the band’s musical chops. Creating a cohesive whole from diverse influences…the Who-like bombast of “Building a Boat”, the retro eighties vibes of “Digital Eyes”, the Crazy Horse chug-a-lug of “Tall Trees”, the punk snarl of “Rock Ranger Record” and the epic E-Street band workout of the title track… and that’s just the first half! Influences aside, it’s all MM&ET and it’s all good.

MM&ET consists of Matt Mays (guitar, vocals), Jay Smith (guitar, vocals), Andy Patil (bass, vocals), and Tim Jim Baker (drums). Since forming in 2003 to perform shows in support of May’s self-titled JUNO nominated debut, the band has toured Canada countless times as well as performed numerous dates in the US and the UK.

The band’s self-titled album was released in Canada on Sonic Records in 2005 and a year later in the US on the 00.02.59 imprint. The debut was co-produced by the band and Grammy Award-winner Don Smith (Tom Petty, Keith Richards). The first single “Cocaine Cowgirl” was a massive hit and the album went on to win four East Coast Music Awards in 2006 (Album of the Year, Group of the Year, Rock Recording of the Year, Single of the Year).

Mays followed up the success of the Matt Mays & El Torpedo album by producing the When the Angels Make Contact soundtrack album with Baker. The project was an adventurous exploration of Matt and Tim’s many musical influences and went on to receive rave reviews and two JUNO nominations.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Fourth Album from Mays, Aoû 24 2008
Matt Mays is taking the road less traveled by Canadian musicians these days. After a country-ish solo debut, he crunched things up about with the upbeat, gator rock album from his new band: Matt Mays and El Torpedo. The album, a solid debut for Torpedo from start to finish, still held some of its country roots but seemed to owe more to artists like Neil Young, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan. Here was a Canadian artist singing and playing long guitar driven jams about long Canadian highways and summer love. Mays' celebrated the fabric of Canadian cottage country and inevitable heartbreak that comes with being in your 20's. But then something unexpected happened. Mays' went to work on another solo album. A radical and ambitious album called 'When The Angels Make Contact'. It combined electronica, choir, a female vocalist, a nifty rap from Buck 65, and just about anything else Matt Mays' could cook up for it. The album was a little too eclectic to make it's way into mainstream radio the way Cocaine Cowgirl had a few years before. It was a strong, if not slightly awkward artistic shot in the arm. Which brings us to May's and El Torpedo's new album... Terminal Romance. You could call it a true sequel to 05's self titled Torpedo album, but without Angels, Mays and drummer Baker could not have found the band's spiffy new sound.

1) Building a Boat - The first track kicks off the album with a crunchy, upbeat rock'n'roll song that sets the stage for a leg stomping good time. When viewed in light of the first Torpedo album, this track kicks things off to a distinctly heavier and catchier sound. A great sound backed by solid vocals from Mays.

2) Digital Eyes - And then Digital Eyes happens. It kicks off with an almost `Flock of Seagulls' intro and you're left wondering where THAT came from. It's electric, it's synthesized, and it rocks. It has warm guitar and vocals through out and is very catchy and melodic.

3) Tall Trees - The first single off the album. It's easy to see why this was the first song selected as a single. It's all Matt Mays and El Torpedo... great guitar work, great vocals... its clap along Canadian rock at it's finest. There might not be a more catchy song on the entire album.

4) Rock Ranger Record - Punk rock? Well not quite, but close. This song clips along with a simplistic jam that chugs along with a clap track and makes it a quick, catchy, and choppy tune. It features great solo work, and a hip twisting vocal from Mays.

5) Terminal Romance - The title track off the album. A seven minute masterpiece, complete with a melodic piano track, big vocals, a gripping interlude, and May's painful growl dripping with honesty and emotion. If there is any doubt that Mr. May's has been influenced by Springsteen and the E-street band on this album, look no further than this chugging ballad. When Matt Mays howls, `There ain't nothin' as dead as a dead romance,' you believe it. Maybe the best track on the album.

6) Shining Eyes - Starting with a little studio chatter much like `Time of Your Life,' it kicks off with a crunchy assault of melody that tapers off into a good old fashioned rock song with signature vocals from Mays.

7) Northern Belle - Maybe a shoe-in for the next radio single, Northern Belle is the epitome of El Torpedo's new sound. Featuring a Queen-esque galloping synth track, heavy guitars, and a chorus that builds in intensity and melody. I challenge you after a few listens not to sing along.

8) Stand and Deliver - This song is a little bit of a mixed bag. It has a little influence from Tom Petty but the chanting do, do, dooo's of the chorus seem a little much. It moves along at the now customary clip of the songs on Romance, but seems a little generic by comparison to earlier tracks. Still a solid rock song, but doesn't reach the heights of Tall Trees or Northern Belle.

9) Laser Guided Love - This song probably holds the most in common with Digital Eyes. It doesn't shy away from an electronic influence, or its poppy melodic vocal. The lyrics might seem a little much, but May's belts them out with such sincerity that the cheese factor of lines like, `I've got crosshairs on your heart, you better look out babe, I'm gonna blow it apart,' actually work in favor of the song. This song seems like it came out of a time capsule from a musical era long forgotten, but still missed.

10) The Hunter, The Hunted - This song could not exist without the Angels album. The dark subject matter, the dark imagery, the pulsing musical track. May's sounds like an angry Neil Young in this track. The `mean' Matt Mays is a vocal style he perfected on Angels and it helps to infuse this song with the grit the music requires. A comparison to Young may arise more and more as the listener digests the album. The song also features the best guitar solo on the track.

11) Long Since Gone - 'Canadiana inspired acoustic ballad' probably best describes this track. It's fairly slow and pondering (which on Mays' previous albums would fit right in) which makes it a stand out finisher on this otherwise quick moving sophmore album. With lines like, "The National Post front-page said, George W Bush is dead... and the Jays beat the Reds," its clear May's wanted to kick back and belt out a good ole fashioned folksy, slow-rollin' tune - slightly country-ish and filled with references about the country he loves.

Terminal Romance is a significant step forward for Matt Mays and El Torpedo. For anyone following this band from the start, it's been a clear evolution with an easy to follow path. The album is much more radio friendly than previous efforts but not at the cost of quality or the bands signature jam sound. It's an exciting time to be a fan of the band and this album is a clear indication that the sky's the limit for these gents. Mays recently revealed that another complete album of B-sides might become available from the recording sessions for Terminal Romance. I say, the more the merrier.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Matt Mays at his best!, Mai 27 2009
Par L. Landry (NS, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a fan of Matt Mays and enjoyed his self titled debut with El Torpedo, you will love terminal romance. I bought the CD based on the strength of two released songs: "Tall Trees" and "Building a Boat", but the rest of the CD is filled with great original music by Matt Mays & El Torpedo. Good guitar riffs and great lyrics. Already looking forward to they're next CD.

Not as good as "Matt Mays & El Torpedo" but a solid disc none the less. If you enjoyed any of Matt Mays other CD's do yourself a favour and pick this one up too.
