Despite this albums good intentions, it falls somewhat flat in its doom-laden rock category. There are a few moments where the band seems to shine, leaving hope that if there is a follow-up it could be much better. The band's overall sound seems like mash up of certain Sabbath riffs with the harder moments of Alice in Chains (though the vocals here need a lot more work to fit the latters). It's doomy, crunchy, and I could see this appealing to fans of Type O' Negative and the doom rock genre in general, though it will probably be harder for the casual listen to get into. There's definintely some nice guitar work that keeps this album moving, but sadly there's a lot of repetition throughout the music. The last track on this one is pretty damn ballin', though.
I still appreciate the free cd Sputnik, definitely cool to be able to check out this band legitimately
