A complete departure from the epic and artful Avalanche, White Light Rock and Roll Review is vivid and immediate -- an album which, as we have come to expect from Matthew Good, is a complete suprise. He brings the lyrical flair he has always possessed to bear on issues he has always discussed. It has been Matt Good's modus operandi since day one to release "different" albums; he has gone from folk, to indie-rock, to alt-rock; from to 3:30 pop rock to 8:00 orchestral masterpieces. As always, each of his records alienates a certain number of people who expect him to release "Weapon II" or "Hello Again Time Bomb", and most of this album's detractors belong to this group. Trust me, and pick it up for yourself, even if you weren't a fan of Avalanche.

Now, here's an artist who speaks and says what he feels. His style changes from album to album, and more so on this album. He is an influential Canadian artist, and a damn good singer. This album takes us once again into the mind of Mr. Matt Good, only this time something seems to be missing. It isn't anything bad vocally, it's more...instrumental. I guess the days of Matt Good's ballads are gone, and we get the general idea on this album. The guitar isn't as heavy and carries bluesy undertones. It is none other than a Rock & Roll album. So take it with a grain of salt and get used to the new Matt. There are strong influences present on this album...don't quote me or anything...these are mere guesses but, there is a touch of Jimi Hendrix style guitar playing (tracks 2 and 7) and a touch of Blue Oyster Cult (tracks 8 and 11). There is one more influence...the south. This Album has a very southern sound in a few songs. Personally, I'm getting used to it all myself. This is going to be one of those albums that eventually grows on you with repeated listening. Enjoy.

Not enough Good over my way.
Polished rock has never been an appropriate podium for protest, and on some tracks Matt Good is perhaps guilty of over-production, making his pertinent lyrics seem sometimes... Read more

Put out your lights!
starts off with what could be an amazing concert opening, a rock rift, with a chorus that sounds awesome, and the verses in between are just nice. Read more

Definition of Canadian Sound
Matt has made an album that to me defines the "sound" of Canadian Music. The songs are stipped down to their bear minimum will little fuss or effects to bring us a taste... Read more

Rock and Roll to the core
This album is pure rock and roll, and I think that's what Matthew Good wanted. I think he was beginning to feel that people saw all of his work as being the same, and this album is... Read more

Definately Matt Good, but something is missing..
While this is a great album and all, it just seems to be lacking something. It's ever so slightly missing the "listen to it over and over again appeal" of his first 2... Read more

the title says it all
As much as Avalanche was not the MGB this is not Avalanche. But it's still Matt Good.
Stripping away the bombast, vocal effects and lush arrangements this is a back to basics... Read more
