Opener 'Let It Shine' radiates with gospel feel-good rock n roll while 'Beautiful Smile' roars with hard rock urgency. Lead single 'Labour Of Life' is a fast paced pop anthem which shows the band's ability to cross over with stunning pop sensibilities. Title track 'Frantic' is a slower number filled with full string section which compliment Dante Gizzi's haunting vocals. 'Frantic' is filled with no fillers, power, energy, and is refined and rough at the same time. Gun's singer Dante Gizzi has expressed all his enthusiasm about the new album: "We've had such an amazing time recording this album and had the privilege of recording it in some of the most prestigious studios across Europe, such as Sarm in London, ICP studios in Brussels and also on home turf at the fabulous Gorbals Sound in Glasgow . We believe that this album has captured the Gun style in every way and we hope the fans will love it as much as we've loved recording it!" The album channels all the different styles of their previous records to create a brand new sound and direction for the band. The album was produced by Simon Bloor and mixed by Tim Weidner (Trevor Horn's music team) GUN's contemporary take on authentic rock gave them an edge over their peers. Formed in Glasgow by the Gizzi brothers, they came to re-invent the rock 'n' roll genre. In September 2010, their debut album "Taking On The World" was included in Classic Rock magazine's list of the 150 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time. Over the years the band had many guest slots with acts such as; The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Simple Minds, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard. With critically acclaimed albums, singles, many awards and lineup changes under their belt, GUN decided to call it a day in 1998. The band reformed in 2012 with their acclaimed 'Break The Silence' album, that year also saw them go down a storm at Download festival.

Pop rock and still amazing
As a huge fan of Gun's first three albums and having got tickets to see them perform at Camden Rocks, I made sure to get this album. There was a small part of me feeling quite reluctant as I didn't want to be dissapointed especially as Mark Rankin was no longer involved. However, I was extremely surprised with how good this album was. I shouldn't have been. Gun have been outstanding on record and live since I first saw them in 1990 (apart from their forth album. Everyone is allowed one hiccup). Dantes vocals are excellent and the songs melodic. If I am to compare it to their previous albums, I would say that this was more pop rock than hard rock. It's a shame the band aren't bigger than they are considering some of the rubbish that's out there. Please support these guys. They deserve it.

I agree with some previous reviews that if you listen to this album expecting another Taking On The World or Gallus you are going to be a little disappointed. However if you listen to this with an open mind and without expecting it to sound like their early albums you will hear a quality album full of great tunes and great guitar-work. I'm very impressed how the band have managed to re-invent themselves after such a long break and would have no hesitation recommending this album to anyone who enjoys 'proper' music. My personal favourite tracks are One Wrong Turn and Our Time but there isn't a poor track on the album.

Wow......a GREAT album !!!
I wanna start by saying that no this album does not sound much like "Gallus" or their other stuff from 25 years ago......but seriously why would a band wanna stay with the exact same sound for 25 years (unless you are AC/DC) .This album is brilliant, all killer...no filler !!! Yes its very polished production wise, but I dont care, as long as there are strong songs......and these songs are certainly strong. I was hanging out for this and the new Thunder CD....I was disappointed in the Thunder, but this album surpassed my expectations.Awesome stuff

GUNS latest is fully loaded with great songs. Buy it, you wont be dissapointed. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Great Album - It's always been abut the art of songwriting where GUN are concerened, and in this latest album they have excelled themselves. Fresh, modern, passionate and unmistakeably GUN. It's impossible to pick a favourute track, they are all that good. Though if pushed, I'd have to say the title track itself 'Frantic' is still bouncing about my head.
