The Hellacopters - Grande Rock
Grande Rock is the third album released by the Swedish rock band The Hellacopters. Due to the departure of orgianl guitarist Dregen, pianist Anders Lindström stepped in to record guitars under the psedonym 'Lee Fett'. The record was released both on CD and on vinyl, the vinyl version was available in seven diffrent colors depending on which country it was sold in.

These guys are from Sweden, but they play straight-up, North American rock & roll in the vein of Grand Funk Railroad, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the MC5, the Stooges, and Three Dog Night. The Hellacopters aren't afraid to show the world that rock music is still alive with their added sheer intensity. And the raw power is present with Grande Rock, with not a single hint of alternative rock or '80s hair metal to be found.

If ever there were a manifesto against electronica's bleeps, blurps, and brainwashed soundscapes and that decried alt-rock's fey pretensions, Grande Rock could be it. The Hellacopters play kick-ass, butt-stomping rock à la Ted Nugent at his most gonzo, MC5 at their most coherent, and Mudhoney at their least bratty. The best thing about the Hellacopters is that they pull off their rock caper without a trace of irony; this is the pure dose. These guys were born to Rawk! and they know it. Hellacopter fans are largely co-opted by this Swedish outfits outstandingly thunderous and frenetic live escapades: their studio albums somehow never quite recreate the sweat and smell of the 'Copters onstage. But Grande Rock, their stateside debut on legendary-but-tarnished grunge-rock label SubPop, comes damned close. Just listen to the slabs of meaty hooks, primal vocal screams, raging tornado drum rolls, and ear-searing guitar solos. Unlike their loud progenitors, the Hellacopters know how to keep it short and sweet: the opening track "Action De Grace" ends as soon as it hits it's crescendo–after only two minutes. Most tracks barely clock over three minutes. Yet somehow the boys manage to cram in a hellish amount of rock in that short time. The best song here is "The Devil Stole the Beat from the Lord"; Grande Rock makes the case that the Hellacopters are the horned one's accomplices. No just court of rock could acquit them.
