Release Date : 2011
Review : CD

Status Quo meets AC/DC meets The Sweet meets The Faces material with simple lyrical content and a strong presence combine to make Chillihounds a dynamic musical force. While they never really slow down, they never really seem to make speed either. That's intentional, I'm certain, because the band is very consistent. They move at their own pace and they know exactly what that pace should be,. But the songwriting is played on the safe side and every song is much like many others you have heard before. Daring, Chillihounds is not. But they do provide a decent scattering of material for an album that has a pleasant run. Not a memorable listen, but enjoyable.  Not a single song will blow your mind yet its not bad enough to send you scrambling for the off button .

I didn't dislike Chillihounds but they didn't blow me away either. Still, this is enjoyable enough that it'll find its way back into my CD player every now and then.

79/100
