No Deliverance

With all the Brett Favre drama going down this summer it may have overshadowed the other big, um... un-retirement - the Toadies. After playing a handful of dates throughout the summer, including Lollapalooza earlier this month, the band has released it's third full-length studio album No Deliverance.

While Deliverance might not be considered the best of the Toadies' records, its still sounds very Toadies -a refreshing fact after the very forgettable sophomore release of Vaden Lewis' other band Burden Brothers in 2006.

And unlike it's title the Toadies' new album really delivers. The anger that fueled the first two Toadies records is back for the new disc. The opening track So Long Lovey Eyes (arguably the best song on the disc) was written during a fight between Lewis and his wife, and sounds reminiscent of Quitter off of Rubberneck.

Overall it is a very solid record from one of the last pure rock and roll bands we have left, and although it might not be their best release, any Toadies is better than no Toadies at all.
