don't think for a second that all of us old folks don't have a love for the sound ya dweeb ...
I dig this - just like I did the one you played keys on .... I really appreciate the singers voice and his melody choices in bullet .... a much harder edge than satellite down (jaymz) and I believe this guy with his broader range - and ability to add some balls in the lower register is a real edge that jaymz's singer might never have.
then again, there's the possibility that the higher voiced "boy" might strike a chord with the ladies but then again, by and large, the girls sorta stay clear of all harder edged stuff ...
all the other aspects are very solid and luckily the metal style seems to be a bit more lenient than pop metal in what is dated and what isn't ...
all songs touch briefly on hooks of many sorts ... bleed alone - the chorus bleeds the old AIC type of treatment without sounding like a copycat.
The system - with it's prog rhythm and bass ... coupled with the bark and the great melody deserves the light of day. a great job of capturing the vocal whisper too!
with burn it down, the band seems to have achieved a signature sound without each song sounding boringly similar. respect.
pro recording. great guitars. as I had told you originally, the barking doesn't bug me at all on this ... and there's been plenty of times that I have hated that with a lot of bands ... (and yeah, I know we did it with PMB and NoMo ... you know I was proving that it wasn't that hard to do ...) but I nearly like it with this guy ....
even some solo guitar action - and for this particular style in this day and age, that's not something that regularly happens. even brought melody into the parts ...
great indie band. I wish 'em fabulous luck ... in fact, I'd like to talk to them about inclusion on the "new" iNt ... shoot me an email address please.
you can't handle the truth.
nor do you want to ...
