5 out of 5 stars Jet engine with rhythm.......2005-12-17

"Dirty" Dave Johnson seems like a musician version of a method actor. There is a script, but he lives the part and is both cursed and blessed. The molten lava rock of both American Exhaust and Powderkeg is red hot and merciless; neither album is for fans of mainstream entertainment, but fans of 16-ton rock should own both. MTV2 cowered away from The Glasspack's "Mrs. Satan" video. So, what did Johnson and his co-workers do? They stuck to their guns by recording another album of heavy artillery. Bridgeburner shatters windows and makes the walls tremble and doesn't look back.
Though Johnson's familiar growl is abundant, this CD's emphasis is on the music. After listening to it several times in its entirety, the only lyrics I deciphered can't be printed here. Hence, my question is how do these guys play music like this without repeating themselves? Maybe they're on a boat with Ozric Tentacles; it's easy to say if you have one album, you have them all, but that's misleading. The Glasspack has a `sound' but each new album is different from the previous. What separates Bridgeburner from the other Glasspack albums? Aside from the vocals being harder to understand, the rolling thunder music takes a step forward. Listen to this CD and you won't hear a rerun of other Glasspack CDs. "Gimme Shelter" is the first appearance of a cover song on a Glasspack album. Not only that, but "Hairsoup" might be one of the sexiest slow-burning hard rock song since Uncle Ted's "Stranglehold."
If you dig The Glasspack's previous work, Bridgeburner is a must-have. If you don't like one or either of their back records, it can't hurt to give this one a shot ('specially after a few shots of Kentucky bourbon) or if you haven't even heard of The Glasspack until now, try starting with Bridgeburner and working backwards.
