“American Sin” have emerged from nowhere almost. In that context, then, they might be the saviours that rock n roll didn’t know it needed.

There’s nothing approaching regrets here either. “Out On The Run” considers, briefly, being bluesy before deciding that no one needs the blues – “if you ain’t having a good time, then get busy trying” goes the hook here. This is not the hold music for The Samaritans.

“Roulette” actually sounds like a modern arena rock masterclass. “Trouble Bound” is like Godsmack at their very best, but there’s a telling bit in the middle, right before the solo. “the fucking party’s here…..” and you just know they are going to throw this shit down as soon as they can.

Proof, if it were still needed, that these boys mean business, comes in the form of “Missionary Man”. Look, it’s a Eurythmics cover. In these hands, though, it sounds like something Black Stone Cherry are filling enormodomes with.

“Drag Out War” sounds something like it was left behind from the old metalcore days. It might, in other hands, be a ballad, but no one is arsed with balladry here. “American Sin” – which means that rather like Iron Maiden, they’ve got a title track and a band name all in one – is likewise, but adds something a bit electro too as if to prove they can change things up if they want and “House Of Cards” even broods a bit and moves away from the good time rock n roll that nearly all the rest of this has occupied.

“Stand My Ground”, (“you only loved me cos you hate yourself” goes the hook here and it sounds as if it’s her fault) though, decides to finish things with Plan A firmly in mind. And Plan A has done the job, in truth.
