Here is another FANTASTIC review, this time from our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/metalnation.com\/album-review-john-5-and-the-creatures-invasion\/?ref=john5website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metal Nation<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Invasion is quite a bit different than J5\u2019s other offerings, yet you can still easily hear it is <strong>John 5<\/strong>. He has a distinctive sound, which is incredible since he plays many different genres of music within each album. The Creatures have continued to impress with the fluid distribution of their instruments, which invade and captures the essence of the music overall. What some would possibly believe about solo guitar work and the probability of it all \u201csounding the same\u201d from the same musician, would be absolutely incorrect when it comes to <strong>John 5 and the Creatures<\/strong>. They are remarkably diverse which keeps you interested album after album. The Invasion is coming, prepare to be overcome.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Invasion is out on July 31st (digital) and Sept 1st (CD &amp; LTD ED Box Set) &#8211; pre-order yours here: <a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/invasionpreorderJ5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/smarturl.it\/invasionpreorderJ5<\/a> (contains digital, and physical release options).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metal Nation reviews Invasion from John 5 and The Creatures: &#8220;The Creatures have continued to impress with the fluid distribution of their instruments, which invade and captures the essence of the music overall.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":573355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[824,813,13,559,621],"class_list":["post-584232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-invasion","tag-invasion-2019","tag-john-5","tag-john-5-and-the-creatures","tag-review","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Invasion_story_teaser.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-2rZ6","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":590517,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/08\/04\/knac-reviews-invasion-what-makes-john-5-that-much-more-of-an-entertainer-is-he-isnt-simply-for-your-ears-but-for-your-eyes-as-well\/","url_meta":{"origin":584232,"position":0},"title":"KNAC reviews Invasion: &#8220;What makes John 5 that much more of an entertainer is he isn\u2019t simply for your ears but for your eyes as well&#8221;.","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"August 4, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"KNAC.com gives Invasion a 4 out out 5 review.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Review&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Review","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/review\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Pre Order Invasion John 5 and The Creatures digital and box set","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Invasion_Preorder_story_tease_with_boxset.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Invasion_Preorder_story_tease_with_boxset.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Invasion_Preorder_story_tease_with_boxset.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":590543,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/08\/09\/mxdwn-music-reviews-invasion-eclectic-strange-and-satisfying\/","url_meta":{"origin":584232,"position":1},"title":"MXDWN Music reviews Invasion: &#8220;Eclectic, strange and satisfying&#8221;.","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"August 9, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"MXDWN Music reviews Invasion from John 5 and The Creatures.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Review&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Review","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/review\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"I Want It All John 5 and The Creatures","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/i-want-it-all-video-teaser.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/i-want-it-all-video-teaser.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/i-want-it-all-video-teaser.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":583509,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/07\/25\/outburn-magazine-gives-invasion-10-out-of-10\/","url_meta":{"origin":584232,"position":2},"title":"Outburn Magazine gives &#8216;Invasion&#8217;
