Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
Supporters of the Campaign to Bring Back Real Rock, Man, will probably want to cock an ear to Living Things' politically charged, Guns N' Roses-meets-the Clash, sonic blitzkrieg. But don't get your hopes up too far. Truth is, despite some impressive advance hype, Ahead of the Lions sounds a tad too generic for comfort, leading us to wonder whether this St. Louis outfit will actually get any further with their trip than the ill-fated, stylistically similar D Generation did with theirs. (We do love that the lead singer is a guy named Lillian, though.)
