Kiwi veterans Shihad hit incredibly hard on Think You’re So Free. It’s all about the riff. As it should be. The chorus is a little weak, but it doesn’t really matter. Lyrics are occasionally elevated above rawk‘n’roll platitudes – working class rally cries of “I want a car / A steady job…” twist into the kinda sharp one-percent admonishment “An endless line of people I can rob.” The pounding close sticks with you. Over 20 years, and a few shit albums in between, Shihad still have decent tracks in them.
