Welcome to Rock Music Critic! Check out reviews in the Flash menu above or the static links below. This latest version of the site now includes reviews with an embedded music player so you can listen to whole albums once for free courtesy of Lala.com. Lala doesn't always have an album, but when they do I will include the player. What's easier than listening to an album to decide whether you like it? Feel free to ignore my petty ramblings and just listen to the tunes. That's really the whole point anyway. Up the Irons!! ~ George


Total Devastation
Roadmap of Pain
 
Please tell me the vocals aren't going to be like this all the way through the whole album. The music is actually pretty cool. But not only are the vocals a poor Cookie Monster imitation, but they are totally buried in the mix so you can barely hear them.

Musically it sounds to me like the first Machine Head album. Vocally it sounds like reheated turd.

If the vocals were at least seated properly it would make a big difference. Even crappy vocals over good music makes a decent CD. But I'm sorry, buried vocals like this make a disc un-listenable to me. Something to keep in mind for their next release. The ethereal keyboards are actually mixed higher than the vocals.

Pass.
