Description:
Terrorvision's barkingly brilliant 1996 album Regular Urban Survivors (loud rock music with big luminous tunes in it; scientists were baffled) arrived in the aftermath of all that moping, stoop-shouldered grunge stuff and was as welcome as a sunlamp in a mine shaft. Wisely, on Good to Go, the boys have desisted from tampering with their cunningly maintained riff-laden rock equilibrium of mirth and melody. Terrorvision are not, of course, the world's first smiling heavy metal band (Slade, surely) but that old adage about whoever laughs last, laughs longest couldn't be any truer here.

Terrorvision's barkingly brilliant 1996 album Regular Urban Survivors (loud rock music with big luminous tunes in it; scientists were baffled) arrived in the aftermath of all that moping, stoop-shouldered grunge stuff and was as welcome as a sunlamp in a mine shaft. Wisely, on Good to Go, the boys have desisted from tampering with their cunningly maintained riff-laden rock equilibrium of mirth and melody. Terrorvision are not, of course, the world's first smiling heavy metal band (Slade, surely) but that old adage about whoever laughs last, laughs longest couldn't be any truer here. Despite the odd career set back (dumped by their last label after, perversely, the band's biggest hit, the UK number 2 "Tequila" from Shaving Peaches), Good to Go gives every indication that the unbashable Bradford combo can stay the course. Loaded with such hairy, denim-jacketed highlights as the absurdly Meat Loaf-esque "From Out of Nothing", the punky speedfreakery of "D'ya Wanna go Faster" and the jocular domestic squabbling of "Sometimes I'd Like to Hurt Her", Good To Go hits home, gets it's legs under the table and shows no sign of outstaying it's welcome. --Kevin Maidment
