Good Start - Not a Very Good Album
Posted August 01, 2007
By Epilogue,
I review this album with a few more years of wisdom under my belt than when I first bought it. Before I would have declared this one of the best albums ever, but that's what being fourteen can do to you (no offense to all the fourteen year olds on the site).
Not that this album is bad, as the music is well done...but oddly familiar. They are not very original in the least, with all the songs sounding roughly the same. 'Your Touch' and 'Vow' both very good songs, are almost identical in thier intros.
There are some really stand out songs. 'This Time', is a very powerful song about the prodigal son, and it uses the heavier rock sound to its best effect, earnestly crying out 'no walking away!' 'Your Touch' is very catchy, as is the song about an anexoric, 'Down.' And 'Run' is a very, very, good song, easily the best on the album. I really liked 'Grave and Love', but in light of recent songs of the same type, its not as exceptional, but still a very good song.
The rest of the songs will fade form memory. 'Pride Away' is very mediocore, but stands out because of its long rap bridge, which although unique to the album, is not very interesting. The screams at the end are also not a very nice touch. 'Again' is boring, 'In Me' is ok, and 'Saved' is passable. 'Dry' is pretty good song, and has some of the best electric guitar, but, sad to say, that's not much of a compliment.
Overall, if you're looking for some well done, heavy-grunge rock look no further than Kutless' debut. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself mistaking a few songs for the other.
