Genre: Rock

The sixth album from the Chicago-based alt-rock trio, 'Hats Off to the Bull' features the band returning to the heavier Tool and Helmet inspired rock sound of their earlier releases. The album was produced, recorded and mixed by "Evil" Joe Barresi and features the face-melting lead single, 'Face to the Floor'. Over a chugging, post-grunge guitar riff, singer Pete Loeffler proclaims, "To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot/Fiddle inside your drawers/If we own the night then spread it out/Or pack up without a clue." A succinct survey of how most of the nation is smarting from hard economic times -- complete with a Bernie Madoff reference in the lyrics -- "Floor" delivers nearly four minutes of the cathartic alt-metal fans have come to expect from Chevelle. This time, though, the band wants to stir their minds, not just their tempers.
