On their eight studio \u201calbum\u201d Gothenburg Hard Rock Motherfuckers, The Chuck Norris Experiment have managed to do just that.\u00a0 Distill everything they\u2019ve done to date into ten blistering rock work-outs in the space of twelve minutes.\u00a0 With a statistic that would make you think you\u2019ve stumbled across a long-lost Ramones release or a new Grindcore masterpiece, you really have got to hear Shortcuts to appreciate just what a Hard Rock masterstroke CNE have pulled.<\/p>\n

As the sampled intro to \u201cBack It Up\u201d warns you to \u201cfasten your seatbelts, it\u2019s going to be a bumpy night\u201d you can only sit back and let it all wash over you and wonder what the fuck has hit you as the last strains of \u201cBegging For More\u201d leave you doing just that.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the low slung swagger of \u201cOne Hand On The Hip\u201d, the gnawing melody of the aforementioned \u201cBegging For More\u201d or the chest-beating singalong that is \u201cWhatever You Say I Am\u201d it\u2019s like all the best bits of their debut album, Right Between The Eyes and Dead Central have had all the fat stripped off them (and lets be honest they were pretty fucking lean already) and been given a huge dose of steroids and a ton of adrenalin.\u00a0 And you\u2019d think an album with the longest track of 1:27 might be lacking in melody and intricacy, yeah?\u00a0 Well, think again, because Chuck The Ripper\u2019s leads are all over the likes of \u201cAll Your Bridges Are Burning\u201d and \u201cLittle Demon II\u201d. With the rest of the band on peak form and with production as crisp and punchy as you\u2019d expect this is the best twelve minutes you\u2019ll subject your ears to this year.<\/p>\n

With a release as a 7 inch record (which as I write this has already sold out on pre-order), cassette and a CD in can (as well as the usual digital sources) you\u2019ll hopefully have heeded the social media adverts and snapped up a physical copy already, but regardless, you need a copy of this in any form.\u00a0 It\u2019s a little piece of hard rock genius.<\/p>\n
