Our Take

The Waterboys have always been a band that thrives on reinvention. Their latest offering, "Book Of Lightning," sees them delving into new sonic territories with their trademark Celtic soul sound. Frontman Mike Scott's poetic lyrics are as enigmatic as ever, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption with a deft touch.

From the opening track, "The Crash of Angel Wings," the band grabs your attention and doesn't let go. Scott's vocals soar over a bed of swirling guitars and pulsating rhythms, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of sound. The album's standout track, "Strange Arrangement," is a masterclass in songwriting, with its infectious melody and introspective lyrics.

But it's not all introspection and melancholy on "Book Of Lightning." Tracks like "The Christ in You" and "Everybody Takes a Tumble" inject a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll energy into the mix, showing that the Waterboys still know how to get a crowd moving.

Overall, "Book Of Lightning" is a triumph for the Waterboys, showcasing their musical prowess and songwriting chops in equal measure. Fans of the band's earlier work will find much to love here, while newcomers will be drawn in by the sheer passion and creativity on display. In a word: electrifying.
