Ahead of the Curve

I finally got around to downloading the Monsters of Folk album. Aside from being a pretty lame name for a band, it's hard to fault much about these guys. They've all got different styles, the common thread being they're all good at what they do. While Dear God, the main single off their first and only album so far, is definitely the stand out track, there's something about Ahead of the Curve. At first it's the guitar hook. That unique twang of the notes. It's pleading but satisfying nonetheless. One of those riffs that could be a small part of a solo or the foundation of an entire song. I'm glad they chose the latter this time around.
