Here Comes Success

Here Comes Success, a solid collection of lengthy guitar workouts with the nine tracks averaging seven minutes in length. Success certainly demands close attention, but that's easy to give, thanks to its thick hypnotics. 'Hell Bent' is the Susans' absolute zenith, an entrancing ice-jolt that unfolds and coils in superb dynamic fashion. When bassist Susan Stenger drops to a one-note bassline, it speaks just as loud as a lengthy lead solo. At 64 minutes, Success might test one's attention, but it's the Susans at their catchiest and most exciting.
