Our Take

Ah, MC5, the legendary purveyors of protopunk rebellion. With their latest album "Heavy Lifting," the Motor City madmen prove that they still have plenty of fire left in their collective bellies.

From the opening track, "Kick Out the Jams Pt. 2," it's clear that MC5 haven't lost an ounce of their grit or passion. The raw energy and unapologetic attitude that made them famous in the first place are still very much intact, with each member delivering their signature blend of sonic chaos and political urgency.

Tracks like "Revolution Now" and "Down and Dirty" showcase the band's ability to combine blistering guitar riffs with politically charged lyrics that hit harder than a punch from Joe Strummer. And on "Motor City Madness," they even manage to inject a dose of groovy funk into their trademark sound, proving that they're not afraid to experiment and push boundaries.

But it's not all high-octane anthems and rebellious fervour. The album also has its moments of introspection and vulnerability, such as on the haunting ballad "Broken Dreams" and the soulful "Lost in the Noise."

Overall, "Heavy Lifting" is a triumphant return for MC5, proving that even after all these years, they can still kick out the jams with the best of them. So grab a copy, turn up the volume, and let the Motor City madness wash over you.
