Tell me more: A dozen albums into their incredible 38-year career, Colorado-based rockers Big Head Todd & The Monsters sound like they are just getting started. Indeed, the celebrated quartet is heard firing on all cylinders across their newly-released full-length disc Her Way Out.

The rollicking opener "Her Way Out" is propulsive and infectious, singer-guitarist Todd Park Mohr detailing the end of a failed relationship with powerful candor. The rousing "Thunderbird" recalls a Southern-fried take on AC/DC-styled hard rock with Mohr, drummer Brian Nevin, bassist Rob Squires and guitarist Jeremy Lawton cutting loose with abandon before slowing down for the reflective blues rock cut "Crush."

Elsewhere on Her Way Out the troupe gallops through the catchy Spaghetti Western rocker "Don't Kill Me Tonight," soars via the resplendent "Glorious Full Moon," inspires on "My New Number One," triumphs on the bewitching "Into the Light," get funky on "King Kong" and close things out with the melodic heavy rocker "Rainbow Girl." Her Way Out is an essential addition to the band's stellar discography.
