Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The album features solid rock compositions with strong guitar work but lacks standout depth or innovation.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a punchy rock track, maintaining an upbeat tempo for the first five songs before introducing a slower ballad.
  • Several tracks feature prominent guitar solos that are central to their structure, particularly in 'Crawling From The Wreckage' and 'I Knew The Bride'.
  • The last three tracks shift towards a more laid-back vibe, creating a noticeable contrast with the earlier high-energy songs.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
