Five Crooked Lines

Finger Eleven

A high-voltage pivot toward raw, analog hard rock. Recorded live to tape, it trades polished radio hooks for gritty, blues-inflected swagger and rhythmic bite.

It sounds like the band finally stopped caring about the charts and just decided to rip through some heavy, bluesy garage rock.

A gritty, high-momentum surge of rock energy tempered by moments of dark, expansive reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, seven-minute psychedelic sprawl of Come On Oblivion that breaks the standard radio-rock mold.
The propulsive, cowbell-accented groove of Gods of Speed that sets a high-voltage tone immediately.
The raw, unvarnished vocal strain in the title track that highlights the album's live-in-studio recording approach.
