4.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Rock Lives, July 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue in the Face (Audio CD)

I heard the song Imprint on MusicMatch Radio and added the song to my "Bands to Checkout" list. After checking out the generally strong reviews for this album and their first (i.e. _1000 Yard Stare_), I went ahead and bought it. I'm very happy with it. It seems almost a lost art for a band to make a CD that is listenable all the way through. This is one I just put on and hit play. All of the songs have great rhythem, usually catchy lyrics, and they just plain rock. No, it isn't what I'd call nu-metal, or even metal for that matter. Yet, I'll say it again, it rocks.
Everybody wants some sort of comparison to "known" bands, and despite the danger of biases, here's my take, ignoring for the moment that this band (like most good bands) has its own sound. This is just what comes to mind when I try to think of who they remind me of:

Collective Soul + Theory of a Deadman + Candlebox + Econoline Crush + Riverdogs.

Not any one of those, and not the combination of all those together. Just bands (and various mixtures) that I'm reminded of when I stop just enjoying Doubledrive and TRY to find comparisons.
There seems to be a common comment that _Blue in the Face_ is different (disappointly?) than the acclaimed _1000 Yard Stare_. Well, I like this album so I'm off to buy _1000 Yard Stare_. If for no other reason than to support these guys. We'll see if I like it better, the same or less as _Blue In the Face_.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Time Comin', April 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue in the Face (Audio CD)

This is a definitive album for doubleDrive's arrival back to rock. Unbelievable not more people know who they are by now. Songs like Hollowbody & Freightrain are radio singles waiting to happen. Their first single is Imprint, which is probably the best song on the album. There are so many solid tracks, its to hard to decide. This is quite a departure from 1000 Yard Stare, maybe not as heavy, but none the less impressive. I really love this band and hope for a better outcome than the last record label showed them. And hope for not so long inbetween albums next time around!

Start to finish, GREAT CD. 1000 yard stare had its moments, but this disc killed. Way different than their debut, for the better. Great, positive lyrics and old-school guitar solos. Imprint, Hollowbody, Even out, Track 7, it's all good. Too bad they didn't stick it out for a third release, but oh well.
