Our Take

Review:

Hold Steady's latest offering, "The Price of Progress", is a rollicking ride through the highs and lows of modern life, set to a backdrop of gritty guitars and pounding drums. Frontman Craig Finn's signature storytelling style is as sharp as ever, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption with his trademark wit and wisdom.

From the anthemic opener "City Limits" to the haunting ballad "Broken Dreams", Hold Steady prove they are masters of their craft, seamlessly blending punk energy with introspective lyrics that cut straight to the bone. The band's ability to switch gears effortlessly from blistering rockers to soulful ballads is nothing short of impressive, showcasing their versatility and range.

Tracks like "Highway of Regret" and "Fool's Gold" capture the band at their most vulnerable, with Finn's gravelly vocals and poetic lyrics painting a vivid picture of heartache and longing. Meanwhile, songs like "Chasing the Ghost" and "Paradise Lost" showcase Hold Steady's ability to craft catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have you singing along in no time.

Overall, "The Price of Progress" is a triumphant return for Hold Steady, proving once again why they are one of the most beloved bands in the indie rock scene. With its memorable hooks, insightful lyrics, and infectious energy, this album is a must-listen for fans old and new alike. Hold Steady have done it again, delivering a knockout record that solidifies their place as true rock 'n' roll legends.
