Friends of mine turned me on to this band a few years back. I keep thanking them for their generosity.16 HP's latest epic lacks some of the interesting flourishes from their earlier albums, such as the concertina. With any other band that could be dangerous. Not this band. Vocalist David Eugene Edwards still comes across like he's charming the snakes from the hills, setting the album afire with his views of heaven and hell. By the third listen the entire set sinks in and that's it, you will be throwing this offering on the player almost every day. It's that intriguing.Take it from someone who normally runs from country to embrace a Nine Inch Nails CD. This harmonious album surpasses all musical boundaries and ultimately conquers them all. 16 HP delivers haunting, soul-driven music for folks bored with the mundane drivel set before the masses. 16HP is the real deal, kids.
