│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ How can I not say that this album isnÆt very ║ │
│║ interesting? While the Dimebag Darrell style ║ │
│║ guitars and hybridized Pantera/Sepultura feel of ║ │
│║ the actual music are somewhat interesting, the ║ │
│║ vocalist would be better suited for a Dream ║ │
│║ Theater style band. This creates an audio ║ │
│║ environment that fails to keep my attention. The ║ │
│║ album starts off strong, deceiving you that you ║ │
│║ might actually be listening to something worth ║ │
│║ your while, but it very quickly begins to ║ │
│║ disappoint, spiraling down into a rabbit hole so ║ │
│║ deep that I donÆt even think Alice would be able ║ │
│║ to find her way out. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I personally found this album almost painful to ║ │
│║ listen to in spots, creating a feeling of dread ║ │
│║ as each song ended and a new one began. Okay, ║ │
│║ itÆs really not that badà the band itself is ║ │
│║ worth the listen if you can get past the ║ │
│║ vocalistÆs indecision of whether to do clean or ║ │
│║ growling vocals. But itÆs very hard to block out ║ │
│║ the vocal track when itÆs beefed up so much more ║ │
│║ than all the accompanying instruments. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I could sit here and bore you with the 101 ║ │
│║ reasons not to buy this album, but I think in ║ │
│║ the end, that would be a waste of both your time ║ │
│║ and mine. Instead, I am going to try and explain ║ │
│║ my feeling of why these guys should either ║ │
│║ switch genres or find a new vocalist that would ║ │
│║ be better paired with the music. I donÆt want to ║ │
│║ come off as being totally harsh and unforgiving ║ │
│║ with these guys - far from it - I just honestly ║ │
│║ donÆt think that Caio DuarteÆs singing style ║ │
│║ meshes well with the music. While they sound ║ │
│║ good individually, they donÆt sound good ║ │
│║ together. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The exception to all my complaints about this ║ │
│║ album falls on the track ôBloodish Eyesö where ║ │
│║ somehow, the band seems to have melded itself ║ │
│║ together to make the vocals and the music work ║ │
│║ well together. But this one track is not enough ║ │
│║ to float the entire album, which makes the ║ │
│║ offering fall short of its true potential. And ║ │
│║ letÆs face it, one song does not an album make. ║ │
│║ Metal is less forgiving for a bad album than ║ │
│║ rock or pop is because the fans expect more from ║ │
│║ a metal album than fans of other genres of ║ │
│║ music. But also seeing that this is the first ║ │
│║ album from Dynahead, perhaps their next album ║ │
│║ will be more cohesive and more like ôBloodish ║ │
│║ Eyesö and less like Sepultura with James LaBrie ║ │
│║ from Dream Theater on vocals trying to sing ║ │
│║ growl vocals. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Or maybe I just donÆt get their style. Either ║ │
│║ way, I didnÆt really like this particular album ║ │
│║ very much. ║ │
