Faders On Stun(2008) is Clockwise's third album and it's like a road map to the town you grew up in. The harmonies are the same and the vocals sound similar but there's something different... something has changed. It's called growth and progress. And with that warm feeling of nostalgia we get from this enjoyable visit, we also find some wonderful surprises. The third track, Surrender, is a refreshing song. It's borrowing of a Cheap Trick classic is part of that nostalgia and is the first happy surprise in an album full of happy surprises. Most of the songs on Faders On Stun start of with high energy and end on a slower more relaxed not but they always leave you wanting the next track. Right after Surrender, Boomtown comes in and brings a high impact thump that keeps you worked up for the southern rock sound of Work It Out. But perhaps the most interesting “landmark” on this road map is Upside Down. This track spins you round and round with it's dreamy, moody, feel reminiscent of someone slinking across a smoke filled honky tonk offering to buy you a drink.
Faders On Stun is brilliant... a perfect third album for these Canadian superstars. I only hope it's not their last.
