Free Music Review: A Return to Greatness
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, the past couple CDs have been back and forth. WDWGFH was a great release, with good chunky songs that stick with you. The Reckoning had a few moments of greatness, but overall seems more subdued and an attempt to get pop radio acceptance. This new CD reaches back to more of a WDWGFH sound, with the addition of a clear attempt at hooks and anthem style sing-along rockers, while maintaining a modern sound.
For the Love of the Game - A great energetic athem style song. Personally, I think this track would have been so much better if they would have kept up the energy and killed the three slowed-down sections that follow each chorus; the song is great, but kind of dies everytime they shift to that gear.
Turn It Up - a medium speed rocker with a big "whaooo-oooo" chorus for audience participation. Great rocking edge during the chours and brigdes, but seems to mellow out a bit too much during the verses, as if they are still looking for a pop radio friendly song. Good song, but had potential to be so much more.
Reckless Youth - This song stays consistent and presents a good sing along rocker. This song reminds me at times of "Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row. Overall, this is a great song.
Throwdown is another good steady hard rocker, which at places reminds me some of P.O.D. This might make a good single from the CD later on.
The rest of the tracks are pretty typical Pillar sounding rock tracks, with a couple mellow places here and there. Overall, I enjoy this CD a bit more than The Reckoning, which I did like, it just seems in places to be inconsistent with the style Pillar normally gave us; almost like a stretch at commerciality. This CD has elements of many previous Pillar albums, with a new twist here and there to keep it fresh. I do agree with one of the previous reviewers, that for this day and age, and with their popularity, this CD should not have ben so short. Nine songs? Less than 40 minutes? Come on, that is kind of cheesy only filling half a CDs time in the day when bands typically put out 50+ minute releases. But oh well, what we have is quite good, just being greedy I guess.
