Free Music Review: Did not fulfill expectations
Hit: 3 Stars
Let me preface my review by saying that Sevendust is, in my opinion, one of the best bands around today with perhaps one of the most powerful lead singers. The talent in this group is overwhelmingly scary, and when I heard that the group would make yet another step in the more mature direction by releasing an acoustic cd I was damn near shat myself. But after listening to the cd, I am left with one thought. That was alright, but it could've been earth shattering. The first thing I must say is that either the guitar playing, or recording, on many tracks is sub-par. We constantly hear the high pitched clanging coming from what should be the centerpiece of an acoustic perfomance. In what seems to either be poor recording or an ego-trip, the bass is about as heavy as it would be in a Korn concert. The percussions, however, are amazingly well done, the kind of abilities I have come to expect from Sevendust. The singing was excellent. However, the group took the album to much like another one of their hard rock performances. At one point I overheard someone in the band say, "Let's see that circle." I am only guessing he is referring to a mosh circle. When I picture an acoustic performance I picture Nirvana's Unplugged session, not a rock concert with acoustic guitars. The CD is not all that bad, however, as the bands talent prevails in a cover of Hurt, Angle's Son, Skeleton Song, not to mention an acoustic studio version of Broken Down, which makes me wonder how good they would have sounded if they had recorded all of their songs in studio.Free Music Review: what happened to the 2 hours of dvd footage?

I picked this up today and it's great but I can't find anything on the DVD beside the acoustic performance. I've ready in many places that the DVD would have over 2 hours of bonus footage and features but they are not there.Free Music Review: False Advertising!

I'm a little annoyed..... this did NOT come with the guitar pick OR the booklet like it was supposed to!!!
However, this is a GREAT concert to watch.

This album is bland, boring and a waste of time. Even more so than Seasons.
Sevendust has always been a great band because they make HEAVY music with some good melody mixed in to make aggressive music thats interesting to boot. Recently the band seems to think that their radio-friendly melodies are on par with the likes of Prince or MJ though. I'm sorry, I love the band but when they drudge on for whole songs relying on nothing but their "melodic-content" it puts me to sleep. Its not particularly bad, its just not good. There's nothing exciting about it.
So take all hint of heaviness away from the their songs they get twice as boring. There is nothing engaging about this CD. There's nothing origional about it. Its just not very good. Hopefully the band can get back to what they're good at, not what "everyone" likes them for. I'll be waiting....

This is just an atrocity..first godsmack and now this..First off, these guys haven't made a decent record in 6 years. Second, how are they gonna have a tribute to Johnny Cash using a song he covered in the last days of his life? They couldn't pick something HE wrote and maybe something that was relevant in Cash's own days like "Ring of Fire" or "Native Son"? Apparently Sevendust doesn't know a whole lot of Cash, for the would neither use that particular song as a cover nor would they sound anything like they do. They should just save us all some time and go spit on his grave. What an insult.
