While speeding at around 170 kilometers an hour on the French highways Sven decided to listen to some Boulder. Not knowing what to expect; but things turned out fine. Although Sven had been told Boulder plays furious punk rock, he would rather describe it as furious heavy rock. The music’s got quite a wild sound with a lot of guitar solos. Sometimes the solos remind Sven a bit of Iron Maiden or Megadeth; not saying that they are unoriginal. All of the songs are in the mid- to upper tempo range and have been carefully constructed so they don’t become annoying.

All the vocals are nice and raw suiting this kind of rock perfectly. In contradiction to all this, the lyrics aren’t that good. A lot of it seems to be about women but they don’t really make much of an impression on Sven. Tying things up; Reaped In Half is worth listening to. Even though the lyrics aren’t that good Sven certainly liked the wild guitar solos. If Boulder ever tour the Netherlands there’s a big chance Sven will be banging his head somewhere in the audience.
