Sadly enough Head Off is The Hellacopters final album. They're finishing it off with one more tour and then it's done. Definitely sad, because this is just a real good Rock 'n' Roll band. With Head Off they end a serie of good easily accessible albums. This album gives a good overview of who they are and what they musically stand for...

The album starts of with 'Electrocute', which will stay in your brain for days and days to come! This is some catchy stuff! After the opener the tempo stays in until 'No Salvation', which is a great sing along rock song! Be sure to check out 'Another Turn', because damn that's a great song!!! It's catchy and oddly Pulp Fiction like! Immediately followed by my personal favorite 'I Just Don't Know About Girls'. This thing is up-tempo rock all the way!!

But it must be said...There were better times for The Hellacopters. They're calling it a quit at the right time if you ask me. It's a good album, definitely, but there's just a feeling that their star is kind off done shining. In Manchester they would call this pulling a Cantona; leaving when you're still at the top.

These gentlemen will be missed and be sure to check out the final tour, where the proverbial fat lady hopefully will be singing her fat ass off!
