Dokaj
nepoznan emocore bend iz amerike, ki pa je s svojo glasbo segel
vse do Hong Konga, kjer je zgoščenka izšla. Ponuja 9 emocionalnih
komadov, ki poleg svoje sladkosti in privlačnosti, vključujejo še
dinamičnost, da 3-5 min dolgi komadi lepše in hitreje minejo. Skratka,
dosti je enih mešanih občutkov, kjer se srečuješ tako z lepim petjem,
kot z ostrim kričanjem, sintom, ki se enkrat perfektno zliva z glasbo,
drugič je odveč, ter celim kupom lepih kitarskih melodij, ki poskakujejo,
tako kot močni udarci bobnarja. Kot nekakšna mešanica najrazličnejših
emocore bendov tipo Thursday, Coheed and Cambria in podobnih imen
tega modernega žanra, ki se vse bolj in bolj prodaja na MTVju. Ovitek
in osebno-izpovedna besedila niso ravno moja stvar, kričanje je
morda včasih malce preveč hudo za njihov stil in tu pa tam zabredejo
v kak nezanimiv predel, ampak v večini so prijetni in mi je všeč,
da skušajo z vsakim komadom ustvariti nekaj drugega. Če pomislim,
da je to šele njihov prvi izdelek, se jim obeta še lepa prihodnost.

Version:
Pretty unknown american outfit with a potentiality to spread
their tunes all the way to Hong Kong where this record was released.
It offers 9 emotional songs stuffed with sweetness and catchyness,
not to mention dynamisc, making 3-5 min long tracks passing nicer
and faster. Anyway, they cause me many mixed feelings since they
use beautiful singing as well as sharp screaming, keyboards/synth
sometimes fits perfectly, next time totally redundant and there're
whole bunch of lovely guitar melodies hitting together with a strong
drumbeats. Sounds like a mixture of various modern emocore bands
ala Thursday, Coheed and Cambria and alike popular names we see
on MTV these days. Outer CD appeareance and personal lyrics are
not really my thing, screaming moments could be a bit too harsh
for their type of music and sometimes they wade into lame parts,
but otherwise they're pretty cool and I really like they tried something
different with every single song. Speaking about debut album I'm
sure their future promise a lot! (11/05/2004)
