It’s hard not to get swept up in the sheer positivity of Andrew W. K. This is the man who when I saw him play at Leeds Festival 16 years ago piggybacked a fan around the stage whilst maintaining a high octane rendition of Party Hard and released an album of covers from the Gundam anime. The tone of the album is euphoric, as you’d expect from the musical Bob Ross of positivity. From the spoken word piece In Your Darkest Moments, which reminds us that our personal demons are an important part of us to the rock pomp of The Devil’s On Your Side it’s an album about caring about your fellow human beings and remembering what’s important, but it’s also a rocking good time. If you’ve had a bad day, listen to this triumphantly feel good album.
