Overall, Vicious excels when Halestorm picks up the volume and speed. There are several songs that will become concert staples for years and many of the diehard fans will find a lot of material to connect with. Halestorm said that this is the album that helped them get back their mojo, and I definitely understand after hearing how vicious they can get.
