This is a good band with lots of hard metal talent. They have passion and decent song writing ability. But they need to figure out what type of band they want to be. There is a looseness about this album that does not bode well for their future in an industry where the finished product is more important then the passion you put into it. Let's get down to it... THE GOOD: 1)PASSION. Like I mention above, these guys play their hearts out. They yell and rock just like the pro's do. If you look hard enough, you will even find some melodies in there too. This band bears it's soul on this album. 2) TALENT. This band has the talent to make it big. Each member can play their respective instraments very well and the lead singers voice, actually there are two of them, blend well to create a powerful combo. 3)PRICE. It is not often that I can write this under "the good" section, but I found this one for like 11.99. Heck, anything under 13.99 is a good price. Nice job guys! THE BAD: 1) SOUND. These guys sound more like musical chaos then a beginning band should. As I mentioned above, there is a looseness to the first 8 tracks or so. Everything seems all over the place and the breaks do not seem to gather the members back like a good break should. 2)EXPOSURE. I might have found this one for 11.99, but it was in a very unusual place. You might not be able to find this one out there friends and that is always a negative. 3) VOICE. Yes, the two singers do blend together nicely. But, they need to figure out what style they are trying to blend into. At times these guys seem to fight each other and the band follows them into this musical chaos. At others, they fit together nicely and the band follows them into musical order. THE BOTTOM LINE: This is a decent offering from a band I only heard about a few days ago. The price is nice, but there are some major musical issues that these guys need to address. If you are standing in line and have the oppurtunity to pick this one up, consider how you feel about bands that have a real raw sound. This album is NOT a "must have" album.
