Album Notes & Community Reviews

Embracing the bombast and hedonism of 1970s arena rock, 'Permission to Land' is an unapologetic, high-energy revival of glam metal. The album relies on massive, harmonized guitar solos and Justin Hawkins's stratospheric falsetto to deliver an infectious, slightly humorous take on classic hard rock.
