Well, as an independently recorded album, it was pretty decent. The vocals got lost most of the time. Other than that, this is a very creative album; though, only to a small degree. I only say that because the entire recording was probably done on the same day, the guitar sound doesn’t ever change except between clean and a heavy fuzz distortion.

If you are in to indie-garage style rock, this is for you. It’s exactly that. I can hear some early Seattle grunge influence (I’ll leave the band name guessing to you). Listening to this band reminds me of the demos I used to get when I was booking for the venue. It was one of those things where you had to give them a show…they at least went through the trouble of recording a CD! Of course the show would either be opening for some one else, or just playing on a Tuesday night or something. These guys have away to go, but I like the direction they are heading.

Favorite Track: none
