| Alter Bridge Blackbird | 4.0 |
A great album overall, "Blackbird" showcases the impressive technical skills that each talented
band member brings to the table. Catchy songs, heavy riffs, excellent drumming, shredding solos;
all of these are present. The biggest problem I have with this album, however, is that no matter
how fluid and well-phrased the lyrics are, they're still built around the same old hard rock
cliches. After listening to the usual "what have I become?", "I'm breaking free", "rise up and
make a change", etc. along with plenty of extremely predictable rhymes to boot, it gets a little
monotonous. Of course, there are exceptions, and these songs (namely "White Knuckles", "One By
One", and the title track) along with the precise musicianship make up for some of the more boring
lyrics. |
| Thousand Foot Krutch TFK Remixes | 2.0 |
| Relient K Apathetic | 3.0 |
A mostly bland mix of a couple (relatively) new songs and a couple acoustic versions of
previous songs; the only redeeming factors of this EP are "In Like A Lion" and an excellent
stripped down version of "Over Thinking". |
