Free Music Review: AoA from a Filter fan's perspective
Hit: 5 Stars
So far, most of the reviews I've seen are taken from the perspective of primarily STP fans, with a subtle likeing for Filter. Well, I offer you an alternative look from the eyes of a huge Filter fan who happens to like STP.
Let me start off by saying that I was rather saddened, as I assume most true Filter fans were, when Rich Patrick decided to drop his 4th Filter album about midway through development in favor of creating an entirely new band. When I found out that his new band was a collaboration with the DeLeo Bros. of STP fame, I was somewhat skeptical. While I did enjoy the raw, fun, and at times easy going lyrics and riffage of STP, they didn't always hit the right spots with me (Yea, I know to some of you I'm blaspheming right now). However, I really loved Filter. They were never too popular, and the majority of their best songs never made it to radio (and were therefore never overplayed).
Patrick has to have one of the most distinctive and capable vocalists of the past decade (in my humble opinon). In my opinion, his voice is the fulcrum on which this album is able properly operate. The DeLeo Bros. are extremely talented guitarists, but their sound hasn't refined enough to be that much removed from their STP days (WHICH ISN'T NECESSARILY BAD!!).
The smooth, rolling, and deceptively catchy riffs in this album complement Patricks voice extremely well. The sound is absolutely awe inspireing. The fusion of Patricks uncanny ability to create those heart wrenchingly powerful chorus moments, with the DeLeo's mature, tight, and classic tone allows for an incredible listening experience.
True to form, there are times on the album where you can here STP and Filter ring through (more the former than the later). However, I would have to dissagree with the line of thought that this is merely a STP clone with Patrick's vocals singing in place of Weiland's.
As tracks go (I'm not going to break down each and every one), virtually every song is solid. There are at least five or six tracks that could be serious contenders for singles. (It Doesn't Seem to Matter, Goodbye, Generation, A Better Place, Disappear, Stop Look and Listen, Leave It).
Why is this record worth the buy?
- It's an extremely solid rock album. No punk, Emo, or Nu Metal influence here. There are fairly heavy grunge influence at play here - however at the same time - both the production and the execution show a tight, melodic clarity that is in iteslf a departure from the "dirty" guitar stlye of the grunge era. That sounds rather oxymoronic, I know... :P
This ablum stands out from the current rock music scene; i.e its not overly moody (I'm looking at you Three Days Grace, Seether, Breaking Benjamin,etc.) and or pompusly indie (and you Death Cab, the Shins, Snow Patrol). But don't get me wrong I really like all those bands.
Army of Anyone: a band to keep an eye on. These guys know how to make sweet, sweet, musak.
