The first thing I took notice of was Henk V.�s vocals... think a cross between John Garcia and Robert Plant, it�s one of the better voice�s in this genre I�ve heard in a long time. And Cowboys & Aliens aren�t bad when it comes to the musical side either... they�re just as good, or even a bit better, as some of the bands from Holland like Celestial Season, 7Zuma7 and Candybar Planet.

This CD is classic rock riff heavy, often reminding me of some of the progressive qualities of bands like Operator Generator or Spirit Caravan. The songs are all headbanging numbers that have driving tempos similar to Orange Goblin. The vocals are very melodic and strong and paint over the overdriven guitar textures nicely. It seems that Cowboys and Aliens have their own little formula for writing hard rock tunes- and is reflection in every song. Let's just say that they are definitely carving their own ideas out of classic rock. Great stuff if you are into bands like Unida, Orange Goblin, Nebula...Hard riff rock and good times seems to be the attitude taken on by Cowboys and Aliens...nothing wrong with that. File this one near Time Traveling Blues.
