One term that is used quite a bit in jazz circles these days is 'Young Lions,' which refers to young jazz musicians whose work is a throwback to the straight-ahead acoustic jazz of the '40s, '50s, and '60s - a 'Young Lion' might have started recording in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, but stylistically, they are quite committed to the jazz of previous generations. And in heavy metal, a similar mentality exists in the power metal revival movement; the '90s and early 2000s saw the rise of many young power metallers who look and sound like they belong in the '70s or '80s.
England's is a perfect example; although their second album, is a 2004 release, it might as well have been recorded in 1981. Just as the 'Young Lions' of hard bop and post-bop reject fusion, crossover jazz and free jazz, is oblivious to alt-metal, rap-metal, death metal/black metal, metalcore, and other styles that have flourished in post-'80s metal. There are no chug-chug riffs or downtuned guitars on, which happily recalls an era in which, and reigned supreme. Isn't the least bit groundbreaking, and no one will ever accuse of being the most original or distinctive band in the metal field.
Nonetheless, 's long-haired members are good at what they do - and what this CD lacks in originality, it usually makes up for in terms of passion, energy, and craftsmanship. Falls short of exceptional, but it's a generally decent effort that is noteworthy if you still regard 's and 's as essential listening.
