On ‘Rock And Roll Heaven’, Momsen wails “Freedom found me / When I first heard the Beatles sing” with unwavering sincerity, later turning her attention to Pink Floyd: “ In rock and roll Heaven / The great gig in the sky…” These lyrical whims are silly but loveable at the same time the song is audacious and free, much like ‘Broomsticks’, a spooky 51-second ditty about “broomsticks” and “cauldrons” that wouldn’t be amiss in an offbeat Tim Burton movie. This is a theatrical hard rock spectacle that dishes out plenty of hand-horn moments, but curiously little introspection. The result is ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, an album that, although sombre in context, does not see them aim for subtlety. They retreated and created an album on which they explored their grief.
