Perhaps due to the increasing sterility of rock records circa the early 21st century, more and more new bands are going back and rediscovering recordings of a bygone era, when bands actually (gasp!) recorded live together, and didn't rely on ProTools fiddling to correct every little bloody mistake. To a degree, Bigbang is one such band, as their music brings to mind such classic rockers as R.E.M., Tom Petty (especially evident in singer Øystein Greni's vocals), and even a dash of blues-rock thrown in for good measure. That being said, while the Scandinavian band's 2007 release, Too Much Yang, is certainly based in roots rock, it is processed through a modern, glossy production -- resulting in an album that doesn't sound too far off from the likes of the Wallflowers and Fastball. What you get is a hodge-podge of tough rockers (the album-opening title track), lazy Stones-y replicas ("I Don't Wanna"), chimey guitars ("All the Time"), and a few acoustic ballads ("A Thousand Times Over"). Too Much Yang should have no problem appealing to fans of mainstream adult rock; in other words, there's nothing all that groundbreaking here.
