Element Eighty....This is an amazing band i bought this record thinking i was supporting a local band (when i lived in tyler) turns out i was supporting a signed actist this is just an amazing band they have everything a hard rock band should have...Great vocals..Good lyrics.. Moderatly good guitar.... well thats my opinion on the band....
Track by Track review:
1.Goodbye-This is a great opening song in my opinion it starts with guitar..and then you hear Dave yell "You say Goodbye" The lyrics are repetative but its a really good song to open a record with and its a perfect song to play live..3.5/5
2.Bloodshot-One of my favorite songs this song has some pretty good guitar but the chours reminds me of 'Goodbye' the lyrics are rather simple but they the vocals make up for it...4/5
3.Broken Promises-One of if not ther only well known song...i love this song..it appeared on the Need For Speed Underground soundtrack....the lyrics are again very simple but the guitar and vocals are amazing in my opinion...all out great song...4.5/5
4.Texas Cries- My all time favorite song by this band...starts of with 2 guitars that just play for 30 seconds or so and then Dave yells "Texas Cries" like most of if not all of there songs the songs repetative but this is just an amazing song the guitar drums...everything is simply amazing...5/5
5.Parachute- This is one of there heavier songs..right away the song starts out with Dave singing "HOW FAR WILL YOU GO FOR ME TILL YOU BREAK" this is a very repetative song but it is just amazing reminds me of a cross between Seether and Drowning Pool (With Dave Williams)..4/5
6.Dummy Block- This song has sort of a Alice In Chains sorta sound at the begining....its a good song vocals are great..drums and guitar couldnt be better..lyrics ar very simple but all in all a good song... 3/5
7.Scars(The Echo Song)- This song is a break up song...good song..but the damn song is the most repetative song on the record..good vocals...guitar is iffy..but drums are great...this song can get annoying if you dont like this band...very very very repetative...3.5/5
8.Slackjaw- HEAVY..Starts with great guitar and drums....simple lyrics..great vocal...very good song..one of if not the best song on this record...great sound great guitar...no other song on this record can compare.. 5/5
9.Rabies-This song starts of with either a distorted guitar or synthesizer...great song nice vocals great vocals....Kick A** bass line...you can hear the bass (if you listen carfully) the wholse song this is a great song...5/5
10.Pancake Land- Starts off with a wierd distortion then drums kick in and guitar plays normal...vocals kick in...great song...this is a pissed off song with one line repeated a few times throughout the song "If you dont like my reputation you can suck my D**ck" thinking back at it this is the heaviest song on the record...my bad.....Slackjaw is #2...5/5
11.Flatline-again starts with a weird distortion or syhtesizer...probably a distortion..you hear then Dave whistles "your under me" again simple lyrics but great song...i would recomend this song to everybody...3/5
12.Rubbertooth-The closing track simple lyrics...rather stupid..but heavy none-the less...great vocals...guitars pretty good..reminds me of underground bands...very simple lyrics but good song..2.5/5
Well I recomend this record to anybody its a great record in my opinion...
