This album has the highest reviews of anything I've seen on Jamendo for a good reason. It is pure and solid gold.
I saw the hype this track was getting, and had to finally listen to it. I very much don't understand the excitement about it, to be honest.
It is well put together, and very very well produced. However, throughout the whole song I had the feeling that I had heard it before. It uses a lot of very standard progressions and predictable measures that didn't do much for me. I listened fully to the track, expecting something... unexpected to come about, and did not hear it. I think this artist has a lot more potential, and that could be made prevalent with a bit more exploratory recording.
Very very talented musicians. I have seen them play once.
This is a great "rock" album, with a very large blues style influence, and perfect excecution.
Hollus has great, powerful vocals with original lyrics, a very talented guitar player, a drummer that could play with his eyes closed, and a bass player that could probably play any song having heard only half of it.
If you are able to catch these guys live, you'll be in for a treat. If not, the CD catches the feel perfectly.
I love the singing voice. Reminds me of "Against Me", but without the silly crazy things they do. The album itself keeps me guessing which I love. Good job here.
