5.0 out of 5 stars
Rock returns again, September 27, 2003
I actually caught the "Bullitproof" video on regular MTV.... can you believe that?! I was impressed, & soon after saw it for only $10 at the local cd store. I thought why not, I don't hardly buy new cds anymore cuz there's not alot of new bands that impress me anymore, *sigh*. So I gave this a few listens...So what do they sound like, you ask? Hard to put a finger on it...which is good! They're a mix of lots of 70s/80s/90s rock bands you already know & love, so at some point they'll remind you something. I've had this a few months now, & I still like it... no bad tracks in sight. My favorite track is definitely "Run". "Bullitprooof", "Semi-Normal", & the punkish "My Mind's Sedate" rock out, & are sure to please. Some tracks might slow down too much if you want it all to rock out, but hey, variety is good. There're too many bands out there that JUST rock out, & don't know how to do anything else BUT that... so at least these guys have a softer side, & the singer can actually sing instead of just scream. I'd say if you're a teenager & sick of this type of anti-lyrical rock of your generation that I just described, give these guys a listen. For everyone else, if you're assuming this band is one of those types of bands, then definitely give them a listen!! But if you're on this page, you've heard of them somehow though, & you probably know that already. The lyrics are actually worth noting too, & seem more thought-provoking & heart felt, as opposed to some random jottings that just happen to "fit", like most the bands out now. And if you're a nostalgic STP fan, then the last track will please you... My complaint with the cd is the enhanced part, which includes Bandlink...a program that may be problematic to run on some computers, & you can only watch the video if you're connected to the internet with a fast connection, of course. It would've been better if they had just included the video on the cd. It would've been cool to see it more often on MTV rotation too :-P Oh well, hopefully I'll catch em live soon.
