Review Summary: Broken flawed and, well, simply average
*I have decided to rewrite my Unden!able review in hopes of getting more positive feedback instead of negative feedback. Shoutout to ScuroFantasma for his constructive feedback and shoutout to eAngel for proofreading my previous review. Without further ado, Unden!able review, take two.
Hellyeah sounded like they could have been the best thing on the market. But fast forwarding to 2016, they remain to be one of the biggest laughing stocks in music history. And although "Blood For Blood" is largely considered the bands breakout album, it's still not a great record. "Unden!able" will be lucky to recieve any kind of pleasure.
Generic riffs, unexciting solos, overdone lyrical content, the basic verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus formula (which by the way, I'm surprised there's not a song on how overused that formula is) it's all there. While they don't sound like a southern rock garage band anymore, they still have problems. It seems as if they'll never be able to produce lyrics any better than this:
"Heaven's sake is foresaken
Didn't create all creation"
It's just lazy writing altogether, and to say they're any better than that is a grand overstatement. To make matters worse, it's not just horrendous writing; it's song placement and even song titles. If a punctuation mark is the title of a song, that's a really bad sign from the get-go.
Even the guitar solos are laughably terrible. "X" is probably the best example. We get to the point in the song where we get a guitar solo, but instead of something exciting, we get riffs you would expect to hear while Chad Gray is singing.
Perhaps the lowest point of all this is "10-34", an unnecessary thirty second something that simply doesn't belong. This random snip-bit comes after nine uninspired tracks. Albums like Dirt from Alice In Chains have done this, but they have an exception. "Iron Gland" talks about murder somewhere, but "10-34" is just random filler. It's like they thought it would save the album, but it just flat out didn't.
At the end of the night, Hellyeah continues to be that stupid band we always knew them as. At this point, just about everyone has stopped anticipating Hellyeah's killshot because, seriously, we all have been tripped FOUR TIMES NOW. It's pretty hard to be impressed by them when your hopes are so low they're next to dinosaur bones.
