Convey - EP

The Musicianship is excellent and the songs catchy. Actually reminds me very slightly of Bush and P.O.D.

My only criticism would be the recording mix. Everything can be heard, but it sounds slightly empty the lifts don't sound as powerful as they probably should.

But other than that, a fantastic album :-)

I normally don't like Rock. One of my friends is a "melodic metal" fan and I told him about Jamendo, I also decided as well download some stuff for him and put it on a stick. Finding good music on Jamendo can often be quite a bit of a challenge, it seems that artist haven't really grasped that this is the future, so many amateurs upload their well attempted trash. This means lots of work for us listeners, because we have to sift through loads of "eary" insults, however, HOWEVER, I'm very happy to report that my brain likes Convey. That means a lot, because I really don't like Rock.

Du pop rock des plus classiques avec tout ce que cela comporte de bonnes choses... des mélodies rock accessibles et nuancées, un son bien net, une bonne voix claire passant en voix de tête de manière assez fluide...

Cependant, on attend vainement un petit plus, que le groupe sorte des sentiers battus, se crée sa propre identité, bref soit moins fade. J'ai la penible sensation que le groupe s'est lui même bridé pour rester dans du conventionnel. J'ai le sentiment que le potentiel créatif est bel et bien présent mais pas (encore?) exploité véritablement.

Chalkboard et View from above sont tout de même assez bons dans le genre, sauvés par la rythmique alors que la mélodie et la ligne vocale sont vraiment très clichés malheureusement. Monique serait très bon si le choix entre métal et pop rock était plus directs. Encore une retenue me semble t-il qui pourrait allègrement être évitée.

bonne continuation.

... both lyric-wise and musically. I adore the breaking of tempo and melody. And I do agree with AugieD's opinion that it "Withstands listening many times" -I have tried it myself for the past few days and vahe had to force myself to put on another Jamendo artist :).
"Monique" sends shivers down my spine, "View from Above" is potently stirring, the vocal in "Campaign Speech" is particulalry enthralling, "Colorblind" is rocking to the point that I will dance to it with my 5-year-old daughter, and the introductory "Chalkboard" sets the standards that the rest of the tracks uphold. Desparately looking forward to hear more from Convey.

Even if I was not caught by the music (not really my style), I must admit that it is great : good lyrics, gorgeous voice, good technics.
The only thing I dislike is that the music is not rich enought and a little repetitive
