It\u2019s fast-paced and fun, and Lowery shows that he can be much more than a rock guitarist. \u201cCrank It \u2013 Living With Ghosts\u201d is worth mentioning not because it\u2019s a great song, but because it\u2019s an odd one that will remain memorable. A robotic voice says throughout \u201ccrank it mother fucker,\u201d and though it\u2019s a little bit strange, it gets stuck in listener\u2019s heads for sure. Finally, \u201cI Like the Funk\u201d brings in the funk style on the album, with some funky guitar riffs meshing in with the rock ones.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the review in full here: <a href=\"https:\/\/music.mxdwn.com\/2019\/07\/31\/reviews\/john-5-invasion\/?ref=john5ebsite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">music.mxdwn.com\/2019\/07\/31\/reviews\/john-5-invasion\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MXDWN Music reviews Invasion from John 5 and The Creatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":584850,"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":[824,13,559,621],"class_list":["post-590543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-invasion","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\/i-want-it-all-video-teaser.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-2tCT","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":459145,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/01\/24\/crank-it-the-new-john-5-and-the-creatures-video-will-premiere-february-1st\/","url_meta":{"origin":590543,"position":0},"title":"&#8220;CRANK IT&#8221; the new John 5 and The Creatures video, will premiere February 1st.","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"January 24, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"CRANK IT - LIVING WITH GHOSTS, the second single\/video to be released by John 5 and The Creatures for their forthcoming album INVASION, will premiere on February 1st.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 Crank It video premiere February 1st 2019","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.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\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":464384,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/02\/01\/crank-it-the-new-video-and-single-from-john-5-and-the-creatures-available-now\/","url_meta":{"origin":590543,"position":1},"title":"CRANK IT &#8211; the new video and single from John 5 and The Creatures available NOW!","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"February 1, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"JOHN 5 and The Creatures have launched another music video from their forthcoming full-length album, Invasion, for a two-part track entitled \u201cCrank It \u2013 Living With Ghosts\u201d.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 Crank It video premiere February 1st 2019","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.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\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/crankit-videopremiere.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":587850,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2019\/07\/31\/invasion-out-now-watch-john-5-creatures-video\/","url_meta":{"origin":590543,"position":2},"title":"&#8216;Invasion&#8217; &#8211; out today.
