Big Head Todd and the Monsters are back with their first studio album release in seven years with Her Way Out, a 10-track project due out on May 31. The album serves as a refreshing return for the foursome, who are gearing up for some festival dates before kicking off their Blue Monsters Tour with Blues Traveler in late July.Before the band’s busy summer starts, Todd Park Mohr, Brian Nevin, Rob Squires and Jeremy Lawton will be introducing fans to their latest collection of new material. As a whole, the album is light and fun. It’s the kind of album that rewards listener repetition, with the earworms included on a ballad like “Twice As Bright” sticking in the mind just as easily as those on faster-paced rockers like “Glorious Full Moon” or “Thunderbird.”
The band introduced fans to its first bit of new material last fall with “Crush,” Her Way Out’s first single. Though the song has a simmering groove that hooks instantly, the two singles that followed—“Her Way Out” in January and the more recent “Thunderbird”—are even stronger. The title track kicks the album off like a ball traveling down a hill, gaining momentum quickly as listeners are pulled back into the world of Big Head Todd and the Monsters.The album’s third single, “Thunderbird,” drew instant parallels upon its release with AC/DC through its driving rhythm and harder rock leaning. (These vibes return on a later song, “My New Number One.”) While speaking with Blues Rock Review‘s The Blues Rock Show earlier this month, Mohr confirmed that the “whole band” loves AC/DC and considers them an influence, though he modestly said of himself, “I just don’t have the vocals to pull it off” when it comes to the full AC/DC sound.After running through its first three singles, the album shifts to “Don’t Kill Me Tonight,” a speedy track with a staccato beat and a considerably peppy tone, given the plea in its title. The pace holds on “Glorious Full Moon,” an upbeat track reminiscent of the band’s Sister Sweetly days of the early 1990s.Two of the songs that follow, “Into the Light” and “King Kong,” are among the album’s strongest offerings, with “Into the Light” coming together with a well-balanced structure that one could easily imagine popping up on a rock radio station and “King Kong” arriving as a powerhouse rocker worthy of the name it claims. Between the two is “Twice As Bright,” a sweet ballad that slows the pace just enough to reset the listener’s palate. The album ends with “Rainbow Girl,” a tight 3-minute track that lessens the intensity brought on “King Kong,” creating the feeling that the final track is turning down the volume for the entire album before bringing it all to an end.Though Her Way Out has standout moments, such as the piano accent on “Twice As Bright” or the guttural drive of the percussion on “Thunderbird,” the album feels strong because of how well all of its individual pieces blend together. Her Way Out is an enjoyable collection that only becomes more so with repeated listens.
