THE AMAZONS – 21st CENTURY FICTION – album review

In their relatively short career thus far, The Amazons have already shown that they are happy doing things their own way. A rock band who in a different generation would’ve been huge, have still managed to make a hell of a dent on their own timeline.

Their self-titled album shot them into the picture of an always challenging landscape of young bands trying to make their mark before ‘Future Dust’ served to solidify their presence in the consciousness of the current music scene. Their third album, ‘How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me’ then displayed their ambition and willingness to experiment.

One criticism that you could throw at their last album though was perhaps a lack of truly anthemic standouts. That however is rectified delightfully on their new fourth album, ‘21^st Century Fiction’!

This new collection is the best of everything The Amazons have shown that they can deliver. Those arena rock anthems are back, but their penchant for the epic and more grandiose also hits it pinnacle.

From the gradual build of the opening number ‘Living A Lie’, all the way through to the big finale of ‘Go All The Way’, this is a highly ambitious piece of artist expression which is more of an experience for listeners than a mere album.

The band have been brave but clever with both their songwriting and their album craft and the results are pretty stunning. It’s always a risk for a band to take something of a punt on themselves, but you can tell that The Amazons have poured their passionate selves into this record and the outcome is their best collection to date!
