    "A place for everything and everything in its place," the old saying goes. Mu5tard has found that place, where the sound is rooted in 80s metal and very ably produced by the one and only Mr Michael Sweet of Stryper fame. The overall feel of their new CD Electra Glide is of '80s band Poison. This album has large doses of good time rock 'n' roll although several tracks including, "We Are One" and "Who Do You Think You Are" bring a Metallica/Incubus sound to the mix. The outstanding track on this CD is the epic and intense final track, "Photograph." Vocally, Mu5tard are a bit monotonous, don't have a great range and maybe are a bit strained in places but musically, this band is tight and I'm sure they would rock any place they play live.
