Negative Positive
Title: Good solid debut
Review: "Saturate" is one of those albums that blurs the line between metal and hard rock, and does it quite well. The songs have a definite metallic crunch here, but a lot of the choruses are more upbeat and poppy. It works well though.BB is reminiscent of a lot of other bands at times on this cd, including Tool, Nickleback, Sevendust, Nirvana, and even Everclear (For some odd reason "Skin" reminds me of "You Make Me Feel Like a Whore"). They have a very dynamic sound though, Ben's vocal range is good, and he sings well. Musically, it's a solid album. "Natural Life" and "Phase" sound Tool-influenced, and have some complex riffs and hooks. "Wish I May" is a cool opener, sounding a bit like Nickleback at first. Singles "Polyamorous" and "Medicate" are good, catchy, harder songs. Overall, its a good album that sounds a little like everything else, without sounding too much like anything else, if that makes sense. I'd give it a 9/10.Best Songs: Shallow Bay, Sugarcoat, Natural Life, No Games.
