Female singer? In a heavy/rock band? How does this ever come not sounding like Heart or Concrete Blonde?
Well.. it does. I don't know how.. but it does. These guys are GOOD. I love the blend of music on this CD. I'm SO happy to see a return to melodic music. I wouldn't have given this a listen honestly.. cause they just didn't strike me as a band I'd be interested in and I never saw Dare Devil (they have 2 songs in the soundtrack). I guess I have my new girlfriend to thank for opening my ears to them.. She was listening to the 1st track "Going Under" and my reaction was.. WOW.. who is this? So I was then forced to listen to the whole thing.. and I HIGHLY recommend this CD now..
It reminds me of Cold and Disturbed combined with Switchblade Symphony (if you don't know who they are.. it's ok.. that's another story, another girlfriend ).
Highlight tracks are:
1) Going Under
2) Bring Me to Life
5) Haunted
6) Tourniquet
8) Taking Over Me
9) Hello - Very haunting piano based song. Nice change of pace.
11) Whisper - If I didn't know better.. I'd swear Dan Donigan (Disturbed's guitarist) wrote this song. GREAT track. I love the guitar work here.
Honestly though.. there are no weak tracks here.. these just stood out from my 1st listen. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.. and if you like it.. go buy it.
