The Lion The Beast The Beat: Review

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals; The Lion, The Beast, The Beat

  1. A stellar collection of rock on this album from Grace Potter. It opens, guns blazing, with The Lion The Beast The Beat. The tone of the album is definitely established from the start; the beat is on.
  2. Dan Auerbach co-wrote and produced a few of the tracks, including the single,Never Go Back.
  3. Parachute Heart
  4. Stars
  5. Timekeeper
  6. Loneliest Soul, has a strange carnival sound to it, reminiscent of The Doors.
  7. Turntable is a hip shaking, clap-along-tune with just enough country flare. Potter’s vocals are sexy and confident.
  8. Organs and sweet guitar licks mark Keepsake.
  9. Runaway
  10. The lyrics of One Heart Missing are what get me. A heartsick plea to a lover.
  11. The culmination of the epic rockness comes with The Divide. It builds and breaks into brilliant end.
I’d also like to add a shout out to the retro-tastic album art.
