Title: NOT A TOOL CLONE - A GREAT BAND
Product review: Regardless of what you label this band - new wave metal, hard alternative, etc. - they are a really good band AND NOT A TOOL CLONE. Sure, there are some stylistic similarities in places - maynard and loeffler (sp?) have similar voices and the music has that melodic but not pretty feel that alternates (just like the vocals) between hard and soft - but these guys definitely have their own sound. And it's a great one. This is very emotional and powerful stuff. The lyrics are creative and poetic, if a bit ambiguous, but that doesn't bother me that much. It just leaves room for interpretation, and they also avoid the preachiness that detracts from so many Christian acts these days (bear in mind as I say that that I am a Christian myself). I don't know what else to say about this cd except that it jams.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
