White Light Rock & Roll Review, Matthew Good's second solo album, arrived on June 15, 2004, less than a year after Avalanche, the quickest turnaround of his career. The former Matthew Good Band frontman had soured on the way modern records get made, and he looked backward for a cure: Led Zeppelin and The Who, bands that sharpened their songs onstage and then cut them in the studio as a unit. So he wrote for the room. "Little Terror", "North American for Life", "Blue Skies Over Bad Lands" and "It's Been A While Since I Was Your Man" had all been road-tested in front of crowds long before the album hit the shelves.
Warne Livesey produced, and the result is a loose, loud guitar record that wants to sweat. Critics warmed to it less than to Avalanche, but Canada bought it anyway, and it went gold in short order.
