VOLBEAT
The debut full-length studio album by legendary Danish Hard Rock/Groove/Heavy Metal band.
"The Strength / The Sound / The Songs" is probably best described as a compilation album of all of Volbeat’s previous demos, strung together to produce their first official debut album. Does this affect the quality of the music and bring this debut to the level of a weak band? F*****ng no!!! This is a strong debut and a great way to introduce a collection of impressive tracks that never made a decent release in Europe or the States.
Released in 2005, the album initially failed to chart. However, in July 2006 the album entered the Danish Charts, peaking at number 18. And it would stay on that chart for 21 non-consecutive weeks. 
The only official single released from the album was the band's cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Wanna Be With You", which was released in 2006. The band also filmed a music video for the Single.
Volbeat's label, Mascot Records, had a limited distribution in the United States, meaning that the album went largely unnoticed in that country. Volbeat would not break through in the United States until 2010 with their fourth album, "Beyond Hell / Above Heaven".
Volbeat’s style is a perfect balance of heaviness and acoustic melody, intertwined with heavy, Thrashy riffs and 1950s Bebop. While Volbeat perfected some of these styles and riffs on succeeding albums, the initial characteristics and attitude of what they would become drench this album. 
This is Volbeat’s most fun album due to its mishmash of great tunes that don’t follow a concept or order any further than the organization of the complete album. While the succeeding Volbeat albums are great for their concepts and structure, Volbeat’s debut is the best example of an all-out album with enough diversity, to give it completeness. Everything, from the catchy as all hell "Caroline Leaving" and "Say Your Number" to the ballsy "Rebel Monster" and "Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza" to the mellow (yet heavy) "Soulsweeper" and the Dusty Springfield cover of "I Only Wanna Be With You", gives the album diversity, groove, and melody.
So, if you’re in the mood for something not only Metal, but with the spirit and energy of something that is with the groove of 50s Rock-n-Roll, Elvis’s belting, and a heaviness to put most “heavy” Rock bands to shame; Volbeat is your ticket! While not as elaborate, diverse, and strong as some succeeding albums in Volbeat’s catalogue, "The Strength / The Sound / The Songs" symbolizes all that Volbeat stands for and what they achieved in 2005 and beyond: strength, sound, and songs!
