There are
some similarities with yesterday's review. I did hold off on this review. There
were some scheduling issues, and they got bumped because they had the longer
catalog. However, that was a mistake. Spotify lists three albums, but after
listening through Rebirth, it switched to something piano-driven and
kind of insipid (there was a Michael Buble cover).
Rebirth does have some piano, but this just
sounded like a different band. In other information about this band, it refers
to Rebirth as their debut album. The other two albums must be someone
else with the same name, so that is something to keep in mind.
The other
similarity is that I don't love hardcore as a genre. Well, they list themselves
as rock, but there is the growling and pounding that I associate with core.
Still, I can generally find things to appreciate more easily than I can with
hip hop, and that continues to be the case.
The music
is executed well, but what I really like is this delicate touches that come in
at various points and soften it. It may be two voices joined in harmony or
tinkling keyboards, but there is usually more than just the growl. Standouts
for that are "New Directions" and "Dead Ringer".
Rebirth is available from iTunes.
