Irish rock's new breed prove their mettle

"An eight-legged gift from classic rock heaven, Glyder emerged fully-formed with their superb debut album a couple of years ago. Darker, heavier and more diverse than its predecessor, the follow-up is an album of great songs, great performances and, most importantly, great spirit. While still channelling Thin Lizzy's melodic soul, Glyder have branched out into new territory here, evoking the punk bite of The Only Ones and The Ruts on 'Puppet Queen' and 'Over And Over' respectively and revelling in epic, Floyd-ian languor on 'The Merrygoround', a beautifully bitter and graceful diatribe against religious hypocrisy. Elsewhere, the Irishmen confirm their mastery of soulful, hook-stuffed hard rock, most notably on blazing opener 'Gamblers Blues', the shuffling menace of 'Sweets' and, best of all, the sizzling dynamics of the title track. Throw in an excellent bonus DVD and this is simply irresistible" DOM LAWSON - METAL HAMMER 8/10
