United

United turns Harem Scarem’s reunion energy into polished melodic hard rock. The vocals are smooth and emotional, the guitar is firm, and the rhythm pushes each song forward. Pop hooks and a metallic edge coexist naturally. Like a band with long history, the arrangements avoid waste and the routes toward each chorus are especially clear. It preserves the group’s familiar appeal without sounding dated. A record where renewed fire and craftsmanlike stability are both easy to hear.
