Title: ...Taproot...
Review: Taproot's latest release "welcome" sounds nothing like their previous release "gift"... Taproot doesn't even sound like the same band. They seem to have lost their unique heavy sound that made you want to get up and JUMP! There is only one song on this cd that has that old taproot sound (poem) and that's about it. There are a few catchy songs, but not many. The cd is real slow paced...First of all, the cd isn't heavy... The drumming that was so impressive on "gift" is now gone, the super-tight guitar riffs are gone, and to add to the huge disapointment are the vocals. The vocals on "gift" were nothing less than amazing. What happened!!! The singer hardly even screams on this cd, and when he does scream they sound very distant."Welcome" is a very forgetable release. I find it to be a chore trying to get through the entire cd in a single listening. If you're a hardcore Taproot fan you will understand.
