After twenty years and ten albums, Fu Manchu still sounds pretty much exactly like when they started out. That this isn’t necessarily a bad thing is proven once again on “Signs Of Infinite Power”, the band’s latest album.
As soon as opener “Bionic Astronautics” bursts out of the speakers, you are immediately sucked into their groove. This is nothing new as every Fu Manchuist out there will tell you. But whereas things something fizzled out towards the end of the album on past releases, this time around they don’t let you go until “One Step Too Far”. Hell, it’s even one of the best songs on here. And that’s saying a lot after having already sat through “Steel Beast Defeated” and “El Busta”!
While the artwork on here pretty much blows, the riffage will simply blow you away. Solid album that mixes fuzzy guitars with the spirit of Black Flag perfectly!
Score: 8 out of 10
