The Heavy - The House That Dirt Built

Friend Recommendation:

The title of The Heavy’s first album, 2007's Great Vengeance and Furious Fire, was the perfect trailer. The House That Dirt Built nicely builds the plot, opening up whole new musical storylines to explore.

By track five they've gone through soul, garage punk, a bit of James Brown funk, Hendrix and balls-out rock; by album’s end there's rockabilly, reggae and even a closing ballad. The most surprising thing, however, is how good they are at making it sound unified.
