Hats Off to the Bull – ChevelleView More By Chevelle Our ReviewEven though one of the standout tracks from Chevelle’s sixth studio full-length is titled “Same Old Trip,” the Grayslake, Ill., trio is noticeably distancing itself from the same old sound that previously garnered it many a comparison to Helmet. The band hasn't lost that familiar rock power, but it's taking more successful risks here and throughout Hats off to the Bull. Melodic hooks take center stage in “Same Old Trip,” as bassist Dean Bernardini and his wife, Natalie Loeffler (sister to founding members Pete and Sam Loeffler), provide beautifully layered vocal harmonies to accompany frontman Pete's urgent inflections. The topically themed “Face to the Floor” opens the album with an anthem for the Occupy movement; a bludgeoning rhythm section and meaty guitar riffs hammer out the song as Loeffler rails against the schemes that sucker-punched the U.S. economy. The title track starts with a hushed approach and sultry feel before exploding into the album’s most dynamic and powerful song. Hats off to the Bull closes with the exclusive track “Indifference.”. Customer ReviewsREAL REVIEW RIGHT HERE! (5 stars)This year's Chevelle album has definitely done something. No, it's not as heavy. I'm also aware that this is not a "Wonder What's Next" that's obvious. People need to realize that maybe just MAYBE the guys wanted to change it up and do something a little different. Would you want someone to give you crap for wanting to do something different? Think about it. The vocals are GREAT and stand out just as much as their other work does. A great addition to the Chevelle discography (5 stars) I'll admit that I am biased from the start because Chevelle is my favorite band. They have a different feel to every album and i feel that is what makes them special. "Hats off to the Bull" is no different. This album is harder than "Sci-Fi Crimes" but it has the softer songs as well. An overall great album and one I will be listening to for years to come. They nailed it. I think this is Pete's best album Vocally as Darker, Heavier, and a Mature Step in the Right Direction (5 stars) 1. Face to the Floor - 8/10 - Catchy tune, shows Chevelle is back and heavier than before. 2. Same Old Trip - 10/10 - Once you get over the voice fluctuation in the chorus, the song really takes a hold of you. It is fast, it digs in your face and grips you with a catchy chorus. Much fuller sound than any other Chevelle song. 3. Ruse - 7.5/10 - This song is darker than most songs on the album. Guitar riff is fantastic. Vocals get a big iffy BiographyFormed: 1995 in Chicago, ILGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft/loud vocal dynamics of Tool, the Chicago-based trio Chevelle formed in 1995 with an aggressive, heavy sound. Comprised of brothers Sam (drums), Pete (vocals, guitar), and Joe Loeffler (bass), the band began playing parties and outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when youngest member Joe was just 14 years old. In 1999, Chevelle released their Steve Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Three...
