Local H 12 Angry Months [Shout! Factory/May 13] |
| Four long years since the magnificent What Ever Happened to P.J. Soles?, Local H return with their sixth release — 12 Angry Months. A concept album about breakups, this record perfectly encapsulates the withered energy required to sustain a useless and fruitless relationship. Musically, the band moves forward where P.J. Soles left off — at times willing to bare some vulnerability (the unequivocally brilliant closing track, “Hand to Mouth”) while still maintaining the thunderous power of past releases (“24 Hour Break-Up Session”). As usual, Scott Lucas’s lyrics are witty and on point and smothered in a backdrop of pummeling, skullcrushing rhythmic passages. 12 Angry Months is the evolution of everything that P.J. Soles hinted at, and itself an outstanding continuation of the band’s familiar conceptualism (all from a two guys who still sound like four).

I’ve been listening to the pre-release of this myself… At first I was vaguely disappointed by it, but as I spent more time listening, knowing the lyrics and so forth I’ve been won over more and more each time listen to it.
I particularly love The One with “Kid”.

Fuckin Scott puts the local back into the H!!
Frankly I was surprised he still had it in him… My hats off, what a fine piece of work!!
Been a fan ever since their tour with STP… Never missed a show of theres since as long as its no more than 300 miles away.. Being in Nap town, that means a lot of shows!! But Scott seems to be laying off the Jack Daniels so much during the show that they all seem real tight now!!
If you dont have their entire collection I guarantee you are missing out!
