Negative Positive
Title: This one's worth full price.
Review: Good new band; a worthy first effort. The first half of the album is definitely more powerful than the second, and by itself would be worth the admission price. The band manages to carve out some new territory with their arpeggioed-acoustic sound. Certainly they developed their sound with an ear towards the grunge scene, but it's clear they owe as much to straight heavy metal (listen to "Touch, Peel and Stand" and "Freak" and the vocals in general). As for some cynics' comparison of Days to Alice in Chains, they are probably getting tired of grunge and metal in general; not suprising, since grunge/alternative, like genres before it, has already reached the end of what is typically a five-to-seven year rock musical cycle.
Is the review positive or negative?
