Pump obviously enjoy writing a good rock song, which explains why they've written the same one 12 times on
'Sonic Extasy' (and they can't spell either).
This, the band's third album, is packed out with bland, homogenised imitations of eighties US hard rock greats like Skid Row and Dokken. Only the highly derivative '
Low Life In The Fast Lane' and
'Don't Get Mad Get Even' attempt to shake off the stifling air of predictability that surrounds this album, and that's being extremely generous.
Style: melodic hard rock
