Blueline come up with the goods again...

REVIEW.

42:19 is Blueline Medic’s first full length record in a bit over 4 years, and I was more than intrigued to see what the band had come up with. Between various activities in the member’s personal lives, Blueline had been MIA for longer than most fans would care to admit. With 42:19, BM has once again proven why they are one of our country’s greatest rock bands. 

Kicking off with “Soft Toy” was a great choice as the song embodies everything that fans have come to expect from Blueline – great riffs, driving drums and of course, Donnie’s trademark vocals. 

“Angles” contains one of my favourite Blueline riffs to date and the chorus is bound to be a live favourite with a chorus that most bands would kill for. 

I’m not going to run through the album track by track as every song on 42:19 contributes to the overall flow of the record, but trust me when I say that you’ll be struggling to find any filler on here.

CONCLUSION.

My hat goes off to Hadyn and Richard Buxton as the production on 42:19 is exactly what these songs needed to breathe. Warm guitar tones and a mix which gives every instrument the attention it deserves, they couldn’t have done a better job! 
One of the best Australian releases of 2007
