Today's review is
CKY's
Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild (Alternative rock, Alternative metal)
Escape from Hellview: This seems a bit more generic than Volume 1. Not bad but more generic. Not sure if that was the solo but interesting. They used an oscillator. Really cool.
Flesh Into Gear: Heavy riff with some synth in the background, cool.
Sink Into the Underground: Seems like the band is trying really hard to copy their past stuff. Which gives it a forced feel. Not bad, but not amazing like vol. 1
Attached At The Hip: Yes! This is an awesome verse! I don't remember so much synth stuff before.
Frenetic Amnesic: Cool intro. Songs have all been a bit generic so far.
Shock and Terror: This riff feels like it was lifted straight out of that first record. The lyric, "the shock and Terror keeps me sane," is going to be stuck in my head. It's really catchy.
Plastic Plan: Good song. Feels a bit generic again.
Inhuman Creation Station: I love this riff! Holy s
hit! This song is awesome!
Sporadic Movement: Wow! This is getting so much better. Love this riff. Love this song!
Close Yet Far: Final song is slowing things down. Is that a pan flute in the background? It's cool to see this band trying something different... And we're back to the generic alternative sound.
Final thoughts are that this record was an attempt to sound like the popular alternative music. It feels generic and forced. That said, it's not bad, it has its moments and it has at least two really good songs.
Favorite Track: Sporadic Movement
