Hail is an album that beautifully showcases the many strengths of Straitjacket Fits in the early part of their development. It is a record full of furious off-piste guitaring and startling vocals anchored by a granite hard rhythm section but that also showcases gentler melodic material including a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'So Long Marianne'. But generally the songs are more experimental in nature with a considerable range of material from Andrew Brough's standout 'Fabulous Things' to the vigorous guitar noise of Shayne Carter's 'Grate'. Hail is a documentation of a band on the up, a band flexing its potential and oozing confidence and optimism. With Hail the Straitjacket Fits were well on their way to giving the rock 'n' roll thing their very best shot
