Free Music Review: Chevelle's Finest Hour
Hit: 5 Stars
Chevelle's first album might come as a shock to those initiated with the more recent albums ("Wonder What's Next" and "This Type Of Thinking (Could Do Us In")), mainly because it sounds like a totally different band! Not that their new style is a bad thing, I love Chevelle, and the new sound is working for them just as well, but "Point #1," their debut, is just phenomenal. An undiscovered gem. I've had this CD since it's release in 1999, so listening to it provides a lot of nostalgia for me, and it holds a special place in my heart. This album is full of passion, intensity and pure emotion. Pete Loeffler, guitarist and vocalist, shines through with thoughtful, often cryptic and poetic lyrics, while his voice often echoes that of Maynard James Keenan, but with it's own distinct sound. His brothers, Joe and Sam, back him up on bass and drums (respectively) and the dynamic between the three is unbelieveable. Despite the fact that they reportedly fight a lot, whenever they get together, the combination is explosive and shows in the music. The album begins with the appropriately titled "Open," a two minute instrumental that primes you up for the album, and showcases some solid musicianship. The song bleeds into the next, the now classic "Point #1," which is my personal favorite Chevelle song of all time (anyone remember that creepy video they did for it?), and shows off what Chevelle are all about. The album continues along at a fast pace, slowing down briefly for the emotionally draining and beautiful "Dos," but the pace is picked up by more uptempo tracks like "Sma" and "Mia." A lot of people tote Chevelle as Tool sound-alikes, but I only hear it in Pete's voice. Musically, I always though of them as being more in common with Helmet, as displayed on songs like "Skeptic" and "Long." "Prove To You" is one of the defining moments of the album, and is pretty much the only song that sounds at all like what they do today. The album as a whole is just beautiful. I'm sure many new people are discovering this album, due to their success, and realizing what Chevelle is all about. It may take a few listens to adjust, especially if you already own the newer material, but it is an album that is sure to have a very long shelf-life. Not many albums are made like this anymore, just plain raw, stripped down, and pure. That's what "Point #1" is all about, and if you love music, this is the album for you.
