Cats In Space – Time Machine – CD Review

Get ready to be blown out of your seat because Cats In Space just dropped one of the most electrifying albums of the year with Time Machine. It’s a sonic rocket ship that, just when you thought classic rock had already given us its best, warps you straight into uncharted galaxies of sound, where the past and future collide in a blaze of electrifying riffs and celestial harmonies.

From the first chord to the last epic fade-out, Time Machine is a non-stop adrenaline rush filled with bombastic riffs, soaring harmonies, and the kind of larger-than-life production that makes you want to crank your stereo to 11.

The musicianship here is off the charts. Greg Hart and Dean Howard’s guitar work is a dazzling display of virtuosity, while Damien Edwards and Mick Wilson’s vocal prowess delivers spine-tingling highs that feel straight out of a stadium-sized arena. The band’s lush, multi-layered soundscape is rounded out by Jeff Brown’s thumping bass lines and Steevi Bacon’s thunderous drumming, creating a wall of sound that demands your full attention. Bringing up the rear is Andy Stewart whose keyboards, Piano, and synth just add that little extra phwoar.

There’s an authenticity to their sound that feels timeless, a reminder of why rock music became a cultural force to begin with.

In a music landscape dominated by algorithmic pop and cookie-cutter hits, Cats In Space reminds us that rock ‘n’ roll is thriving. Time Machine is an unmissable, unrelenting celebration of all things rock, and it’s easily one of the best albums of the year. Buckle up, and hit play, The Time Machine is ready for takeoff.
