While the UK band Gomez occasionally gets miscast among Britpop acts of the 1990s, its sound is distinctly separate from groups such as Blur, Oasis, and the Verve. Like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, Gomez trades in gin-soaked, fuzz-laden heavy rock that owes much to the sounds of worn-out discs by early-20th-century blues artists. With its fourth album, SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE, the quintet hits a new peak, creating a burning, blues-inspired record rife with ruminating, serpentine guitars--an album that would likely have been lauded in the late '60s or early '70s, but also stands out nicely in 2004.

SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE fittingly opens with a classic-rock guitar riff that leads up to the growling, infectious chorus of "Do One" and then slips into the folksy, Band-style ballad "These 3 Sins." From there, the album ebbs and flows with varying degrees of unpredictable barroom rock. While Gomez is steeped in rich musical history, they've fashioned a sound distinctly their own, and SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE sees the ensemble comfortably hitting its stride.
