---- + Release Note + -------------------------------------
Name Taken's first and unfortunately, final album.
The musicianship is quite impressive throughout the entire
album, with some noteworthy guitar work in the album's high
octane opener "Control" and re-recorded "A Year Spent Cold".
Chad Atkinson's vocals also shine, driving "I Quit My Scene" to
a very memorable chorus. Songs like "Cover Up" and "We Give Up
Sometimes" are very memorable, with crunchy choruses that you'll
be singing in your car for weeks. The album's strongest effort,
"This Was Never", is a fantastic rock song with a soaring vocal
melody and furious drumming. Beau Burchell's production
obviously results in a huge sound, but also provides some nice
layers that are further appreciated with headphone listening
(although he did bury some background vocals). The most serious
fault with this, their first full-length with Fiddler, is having
two of the eleven tracks be older songs that were simply
re-recorded. Maybe it's just me, but very rarely do you hear a
song that is completely re-recorded and sounds better than the
original.
In a genre that's already full of many a boring band, Name Taken
do a commendable job in separating themselves from the pack.
Ultimately, the above-average vocals do a lot to produce this
separation, and here's hoping that they can maintain this kind
of energy in albums down the road. Yeah, it's not anything
overly unique, but it's probably better than you expected.
