Free Music Notes for Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
Free Music Review: Fantastic music, not so fantastic vocals
Hit: 3 Stars
Having absolutely no familiarity at all with Underoath, which I've found from reading other reviews is the lead singer's former band, I can only speak of this album's vocals. More on that in a moment.
One thing I can say about this album is the music is absolutely fantastic. Heavy, groovy riffs with only the sparest moments of thrash. It's a perfect sound for someone like myself who loves heavy riffs but not too much speed, over-the-top double-bass drumming, and million-beat-per-minute timing. The breakdowns are great and those groovy, chugging, sometimes bendy riffs are original enough to not remind you of some other band's song.
Knocking this down a star (I reserve 5 stars for really momentous stuff) is the lead singer. He simply yells his way through the entire album, and I personally don't find his voice appealing. There's not a whole lot of variation, just yelling and yelling and yelling the same way in every song. He lacks the gut power and stylistic range of, say, Pantera's singer. Flat, uninspired yelling.
This can be chalked up to personal preference, of course. If you listen to the samples and like what you hear, be aware that what you hear is every moment of every song (except the final cut) with little variation.
