As usual, I'm a PC idiot.
I couldn't get that video's volume loud enough to hear it.

Because it's bad coding on that website's part. Or it doesn't look right pasted here. Hover the mouse pointer over the band/song name and then on the right side, "slide" that single orange bar to the right.

Damn...this album is smokin'! All 18 songs are really really good. Just got through my first listen and this is already my favorite of the year. Nothing new, you know; just some ass-kicking rock and roll.
Not sure any of the newer rock bands capture the essence of the classic stuff better than these guys.
My favorite so far.
And this one is leaning just a bit too heavily on that AC/DC sound. Good tune, but they've never sounded that close to AC/DC before.

Meh. I wasn't exactly blown away by their debut. They're good at what they do and it's nice to hear some good old fashioned rock n roll, but it just didin't grab me for repeated spins. I rekon I'll pass on this new one.
Same here.
I'd rather listen to AC/DC instead...

sleazeroxx posted a review of this today. Sounds right up my alley.
Quote :
For sleaze fans the second full-length album from Airbourne may be the most anticipated release of the year. It's been roughly three years since these hard rockin' Aussie's first started making major waves with Runnin' Wild. It took some time, and a couple setbacks, but eventually the entire rock community began to embrace them. Now that everyone has previously heard Airbourne the element of surprise has vanished, meaning it will be that much harder for the band to match the excitement of their debut. So what does Airbourne do? The same thing their most obvious influence AC/DC does, stick to the exact same formula that drove them to success. Because of that No Guts No Glory and Runnin' Wild are almost interchangeable, catering to the blue-collar working man who earns a living from his own blood and sweat. The type of men that work hard and play even harder... Airbourne create the soundtrack to their lifestyle. Of course Airbourne are never going to shake the AC/DC comparisons, despite being faster, heavier and meaner than they ever were. If you must draw parallels, think Flick Of The Switch taken to ear-shattering extremes. The four members of Airbourne play their instruments as if they are exacting revenge for some childhood trauma they caused, furiously strumming the guitars while trying to smash their fists through the drum heads. It is that unbridled aggression that makes anthems such as "Born To Kill", "Blonde, Bad And Beautiful", "Raise The Flag", "It Ain't Over Till It's Over" and "Back On The Bottle" head-banging classics. Each of those songs are perfectly suited to become staples in Airbourne's live fist-waving setlist for years to come. Airbourne hasn't brought anything new to the table with No Guts No Glory, but it delivers exactly what we want and expect. It is the musical equivalent of a guy so infatuated with a woman he wants to screw her brains out, only in this case Airbourne bashes our brains in with unrelenting hard rock.

I saw the video for "No Way But the Hard Way" on FUSE about a week ago... sounded pretty bad-ass to me. I'm thinkin' of picking up the CD if I come across it...

Odd choice for a single, too, as there are many far better songs.

Oh, and here's a re-recorded version of "Dirty Angel" from their debut. I guess it was a Japanese bonus track on Runnin' Wild.
