Our Take
The Men They Couldn't Hang have been making music for over four decades, and their latest album, "The Magnificent 40," is a testament to their enduring talent and creativity. Brimming with the band's signature blend of folk, punk, and politics, this record is a rollicking ride from start to finish. From the opening track, "You Can't Take It With You," to the closing anthem, "A Map of Maids," The Men They Couldn't Hang showcase their knack for crafting catchy tunes with a message. The band's raw energy and passion shine through on every track, with each member bringing their unique style to the table. Lead singer Phil "Swill" Odgers' gravelly vocals are as powerful as ever, perfectly complemented by Paul Simmonds' intricate guitar work and Jon Odgers' driving drums. The album's production is top-notch, capturing the band's live energy while still allowing each instrument to shine. Standout tracks include the anthemic "The Big Six" and the haunting "Green Fields of France," both of which showcase the band's ability to tackle weighty subjects with grace and poise. Overall, "The Magnificent 40" is a tour de force from The Men They Couldn't Hang, proving that after 40 years in the game, they're still at the top of their game. Don't sleep on this one, folks.
