[4/5] Half a decade has passed since Bigwig's last full-length, 2001's An Invitation To Tragedy, but judging from the fiery performance on Reclamation, it's been time well spent. Sounding as hungry as ever despite their 11 years in the game, the New Jersey quartet come roaring out of the gates from the first chord and don't even think about taking a breather until halfway through the disc. The riffs come flying at lightning speed on stellar tracks like "Follow The Leader" and "Owned And Operated," and even the tamer "Rat Race" and "Time Bomb" are on par with some of Bad Religion's better midtempo songs. With luck we won't have to, but if it rocks this hard, we'll gladly wait another five years for Bigwig's next album.
