| 4.0 excellent | Kars Landman | June 6th 15 |
A lot heavier with more metal elements, less generic hard rock songs and better solos!

Heavier and presumably darker than All I Was, but the melodies have lagged a bit. All I Was
contained consistent hook after hook, while Cauterize seemingly gives way to some "filler" tracks
in this regard. By splitting the recording session into two ten-track albums (Cauterize and Dust,
to follow this fall), perhaps some of the less-impressive songs made each album by default. Thus,
it begs the "what-if" question regarding compiling one record of the absolute best tracks from
Cauterize and Dust for what could have been the perfect follow-up to the classic that was All I
Was. Still, Cauterize is certainly excellent. Mark Tremonti has grown, talent and songwriting-
wise, exponentially since his days winning Grammy's in Creed. There's no doubt his latest efforts,
both solo and with the outstanding outfit Alter Bridge, are more deserving of the accolades than
Creed ever was. Tremonti, the band and the man, both have extremely bright futures in the rock and
metal communities.

Better in all aspects than All I Was, but Mark's still holding back.

To me, it sounds like Joey Jordison is sat behind the drum kit. There are many Joey esque fills happening here. Slipmonti is born!

Much better compared to "All I Was", imo. Little more musically exploitative in places, though the songwriting structure doesn't break out too often from the norm. Mark also sounds much more confident as a vocalist on this one. Overall, it's solid.
