now playing: Brother Firetribe - Who Will You Run To Now?
Well, that took a little longer than I would have liked! But I am back 100% now, and don't think my triumphant return will only be heralded by a paltry 100-Word Review (even if today's selection is pretty great). Keep your eyes on this blog tonight for part one in my four-night review of Coheed & Cambria's live opus Neverender.
 | The unusually-named Brother Firetribe, side project of Nightwish's Erno Vuorinen, play what they call "tennis metal", which apparently means "as 80s as possible". Heart Full of Fire, released in 2008, wastes no time in showing all the best 80s cliches in one massive sonic blow to the head. Even though their songs would stand perfectly well in that decade on their own, that didn't stop them from covering Mike Reno's "Chasing the Angels" as icing on the neon zebra-print cake. Unfortunately, it covers the bad cliches, too; the overproduction makes the album sound overall overwhelming. Still, it's solid, feel-good metal. |
