Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Nazareth}'s second album of 1974 finds the group tempering the four-on-the-floor {\hard rock} attack they developed on {^Loud 'N' Proud} by working a surprising and effective {\Southern rock} edge into the songs. The end result is an album that sounds like a crossbreeding of early {$AC/DC} and {$Lynyrd Skynyrd} at their hardest rocking. Some of the {\country}-tinged highlights include {&"Glad When You're Gone,"} a funny kiss-off to an unwanted lover that pairs hillbilly-styled singing with wah-wah-drenched guitar riffs, and {&"Jet Lag,"} a tongue-in-cheek look at life as a touring rock & roller. However, the finest song in this vein is the powerful opener {&"Silver Dollar Forger"}; this hard rocking tale of an outlaw racing home with the cops on his tail has a surprisingly elaborate arrangement and plenty of driving guitar riffs. It feels like the theme song to the great 1970s car chase movie that never was. {^Rampant} also spawned a hit single and radio favorite with {&"Shanghai'd in Shanghai,"} a pile-driving rocker that works an effective stomping beat into its shout-along chorus. The downside of this album is that it lacks the {\experimental} edge of {^Razamanaz}; there is little variation in the style or musical elements from song to song. That said, {^Rampant} is a consistently energetic and engaging collection of Southern-tinged {\hard rock} that will please {$Nazareth}'s fan base and may even win over fans of groups like {$Lynyrd Skynyrd} and {$Molly Hatchet} with its effective grasp of Southern {\boogie}.
