Our Take

The Waterboys have always been a band with one foot in the mystical and the other splashing about in the musical melting pot. Their latest offering, "Book of Lightning," sees them diving headfirst into the murky waters of rock, folk, and everything in between. From the moment you press play, you are greeted with a cacophony of sounds that are both familiar and yet completely unexpected. Mike Scott's distinctive vocals soar over a sea of jangly guitars and swirling keyboards, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and exhilarating. The album kicks off with the rollicking title track, a foot-stomping anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band takes you on a journey through a series of genre-defying songs that range from the introspective to the downright funky. Standout tracks include the infectious "Everybody Takes a Tumble" and the ethereal "The Man with the Wind at His Heels." Each song is a mini-epic in its own right, with Scott's lyrics painting vivid pictures that linger long after the music has faded. Overall, "Book of Lightning" is a triumph of songwriting and musicianship, showcasing The Waterboys at the top of their game. So grab your raincoat and umbrella, because this album is sure to make sparks fly.
