Review by Lew Sauder

Back In Line by The Prime Movers: A Rock Gem That Still Kicks Alright, let’s talk about Back In Line, the 2006 release from The Prime Movers. Released under "Not On Label" (yep, they’re indie as heck), this album is a no-frills rock ride that somehow feels both raw and polished at the same time. If you’re into guitar riffs that grab your soul and lyrics that feel like late-night conversations with an old friend, then buckle up—this one's for you. Now, let me break it down track by track... well, sort of. I won’t bore ya with every single song because honestly, who’s got time for that? But two tracks really stuck in my head like gum on a hot sidewalk: “Chemical Reaction” and “Smash The Mirror.” “Chemical Reaction” hits hard right outta the gate. It’s got this crunchy guitar riff that just screams ‘turn me up!’ There’s something addictive about how the vocals weave through the chaos—it’s like watching someone try to hold it together while everything around them falls apart. And man, doesn’t everyone know what it’s like to feel like their emotions are running some kinda twisted science experiment? That’s probably why I can’t get this tune outta my brain. Plus, there’s a moment near the end where everything drops out except for this haunting echo of distortion. Goosebumps, dude. Actual goosebumps. Then there’s “Smash The Mirror.” This one’s angsty but not in a whiny way—you know, the kind of anger that makes you wanna punch a wall but also write poetry afterward? The drums are relentless, pounding like a heartbeat on overdrive, and when the chorus kicks in, it’s pure catharsis. You almost forget it’s repeated twice on the album until you realize… oh wait, maybe that was intentional? Like smashing mirrors isn’t just a one-time thing; sometimes you gotta do it again to see yourself clearly. Or maybe they just messed up. Either way, it works. The rest of the album keeps things tight too. Tracks like “King of the World” and “True To Me” bring plenty of attitude without overstaying their welcome, while songs like “Left In The Dark” remind you that even rockers have feelings buried beneath all those power chords. Honestly, it’s wild how much personality shines through despite the whole DIY vibe of the label situation. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent rock—they were just doing it their way, unapologetically. So here’s the kicker: listening to Back In Line feels like finding a mixtape at a thrift store. It’s rough around the edges, sure, but once you press play, you realize it’s gold. And hey, isn’t that what rock music’s supposed to be anyway? Raw, real, and ready to kick you in the gut? Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and demand we hand over our greatest example of human emotion set to loud guitars, I’d throw this album at them. Then I’d duck, obviously. Because if they don’t dig it, we might be screwed.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *Back In Line* by The Prime Movers, released in 2006, has a few tracks that appear twice with slightly different titles or capitalizations. For example, "When He's Down" and "Where It's At" show up more than once. It’s like the band wanted to give those songs a second chance to shine—or maybe they just couldn’t decide which version they liked better!
