Go Time (Band) Releases “Anything Could Happen”

When it comes to popular rock bands and their ninth albums, there aren’t many that come to mind. The Rolling Stones released their ninth album, It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, in 1974, and it was a solid effort, but it wasn’t exactly groundbreaking. AC/DC’s ninth album, Blow Up Your Video, came out in 1988, and while it had a few standout tracks, it wasn’t their strongest release. Even legendary bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd only made it to their eighth albums before calling it quits.

Go Time is a band that has been around for quite some time, and they’ve managed to stay relevant and exciting even after all these years. With their latest release, Anything Could Happen, they prove that they still have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. It’s impressive that Go Time has managed to make it to their ninth album, especially in a music industry that is notoriously tough on bands. Many bands don’t even make it to their second album, let alone their ninth. It’s a testament to the band’s dedication and hard work that they’ve managed to keep going for so long, and their latest album is a testament to their staying power.

Anything Could Happen is a collection of rock tracks that showcase the band’s versatility and range. From the album opener “Waiting For Your Command” to the closer “Under the Radar,” the band demonstrates their ability to craft songs that are both energetic and introspective. While the album is full of great tracks, it’s the band’s chemistry that really shines through. Scott Niekelski’s vocals are as strong as ever, and the interplay between him and the rest of the band is nothing short of magical.

It’s worth noting that making it to a ninth album isn’t necessarily an indicator of quality. There are plenty of bands that have released nine or more albums and have fallen off in terms of creativity and energy. However, Go Time is a band that shows no signs of slowing down. Their latest album is just as exciting and fresh as their first, and it’s clear that they still have plenty of great music left in them. From a band that isn’t afraid to stuff every album full of tracks until the LP is bursting at the seams, it’s clear that Go Time is never lacking in material or quality. 

Overall, Anything Could Happen is a fantastic addition to Go Time’s discography. It’s a wild ride from start to finish, full of energy, emotion, and great rock music. The band’s chemistry and camaraderie are apparent in every track, and it’s clear that they’re still having a blast making music together. If you’re a fan of rock music, you owe it to yourself to give this album a listen. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the band or a newcomer, Anything Could Happen is an album that is a perfect way to spend an hour — and as far as song-count-to-time-spent ratio goes, using punk-rock calculations, that’s an incredible bargain!
