The Mr. Hartle Sessions Album Review by Mike DeGagne
The story behind the album is intriguing. The concept as a whole is all encompassing. The music is brash, innovative, and well played. This time out, Minnesota’s 27 Years decided to try their hands at a conceptual weave of rock songs based upon a truly bizarre and peculiar event as a follow-up to their 2008 release, July Skies. While the account that the album is centered upon is quite eerie, it takes nothing away from the stern, semi-progressive rock sound that flows through the album’s music. As a whole, The Mr. Hartle Sessions holds well together as an excellent rock-slash-progressive rock offering. The instrumentation meanders and splashes about without losing any of the band’s hard rock tones, while the vocal output, from heavy to ballad-like, is one of the album’s strongest attributes. There are many musical flavors to taste on this album, from hard rock to metal, soft rock to AOR. The rhythms are catchy, the music is well-balanced between its bass and treble presence, and the listener doesn’t have to have background knowledge of the album’s dark storyline to enjoy the songs; they stand up solidly with their own independent, rock robustness throughout the entire album. From the concept angle, the songs do present themselves well in holding up the theme of the album without getting overly overt and apparent, which is the best recipe when creating an album of this sort. The atmosphere and feel of the album’s main idea are present somewhere within each track, even if the allusions aren’t precisely literal or stemmed directly from obvious imagery.

The atmosphere and feel of the album’s main idea are present somewhere within each track, even if the allusions aren’t precisely literal or stemmed directly from obvious imagery. 27 Years changed their style slightly from their last release, but the marginal change enabled the band to showcase its many strong points; sharp writing, tight playing, and the ability to infuse multiple rock styles in their music effectively. Even without the album’s interesting, small-town legend being known, The Mr. Hartle Sessions is a splendid array of layered rock music, offering a little of something for fans of all rock styles.
