Free Music Notes for The Autumn EffectFree Music Review: sounds original to me.... Hit: 4 StarsI don't know--I guess I'm an idiot, but I just don't hear the 'Tool template' or 'cloning effect' that many reviewers mention here. This stuff is not nearly as meaty and introspective as Tool; these guys don't take you on anywhere near the same journey as Tool, but it's still a nice ride. None of the sub--5:00 minute tracks here sound anything at all like "10,000 Days" or "Lateralus". Plus, I've seen both bands live on more than one occasion and to me there's just really not much worth juxtaposing.
Let's give 10 Years credit for a decent album with some very catchy licks and melodies, and for releasing it when the market was lacking in inspirational stuff. A solid release from an excellent band.
Free Music Review: they sound like tool..but none the less a great record Hit: 4 Starsyes 10 years does sound like tool but dispite that the music is really good. i highly recommend this album.
Free Music Review: Finally a Tool/APC sound-alike that does 'em justice Hit: 5 StarsWhile it is true that 10 Years has undeniably been influenced by Maynard James Keenan and company, they are not just a copycat band that has no originality. Song for song, this is one of the best records I've ever heard. It takes supreme talent to pull off the kind of music that these guys are making, and I can tell that they have the know-how to write catchy, hook-filled hard rock songs that never get old. Rarely does a cd affect me as much as this one has. It was my most-listened to disc of 2005-2006, and I buy pretty much every heavy music release that comes out, so I know what else is out there. I suggest that you don't be so quick to write these guys off as Tool clones, and see them for the talented band that they are. The vocals give Maynard a run for his money. There. I said it.
Free Music Review: More then a tool clone Hit: 5 StarsYou can tell these guys are definetely influnced by tool, but this cd is fantastic and amazing. 5 star cd all the way, much better then the majority of mainstream bs out there right now.
Free Music Review: Pleasant, darkly ambient Hit: 4 StarsAlthough I see many reviews stating the unoriginality of this band, I really don't see that this is a detrimental factor as far as this CD is concerned. It presents a beautiful view of the darker side of consciousness without coming across as hopeless, crude, or arrogant. It is extremely heartfelt, especially "Wasteland," about drug addiction and the surrounding struggle it entails. The band's smooth sound is great as background music, while having the content worth a listen. Overall, four stars, just because, while the music i good, it gets a little blurred together.
