Title: Good band but................
Review: I heard snippets of this album and thought it sounded really good. Now that I own it my opinion has changed. I'm a big fan of this style of music, but I find this album kind of sterile and claustrophobic. I think if this band evolves and lets their tunes open up and breath a little they could be great. The band can play and are as tight as a drum but I have one question. Does this band even HAVE a bass player? IMO if you're going to concentrate on heavy riff rock like this you need a bass player who can really groove behind all that riffage. The bass player is just locked in too tight with the rest of the band and is playing the same riffs as the guitars. Which IMO makes it kind of uninteresting. Also, they need to find a stronger vocalist. Period. The weak vocals totally take away from the heaviness. I would suggest go with an Orange Goblin record and bypass this. But I'm defnitely going to keep them in my radar.
Is the review positive or negative?
