REVIEW: Blindside – With Shivering Hearts We Wait

“The album isn’t a complete failure, but as I find myself picking out things I don’t like, I found it exponentially harder to pick out things that I did like. I feel bad, I want to like this band, but at the same time, I really just can’t. With Shivering Hearts We Wait simply doesn’t sound like an offering from a band that has had 17 years to hone their sound, and I just can’t ignore that fact.”

REVIEW: The Color Morale – My Devil In Your Eyes

“As someone with a generally softer sensibility, I was pleasantly surprised by this effort. The songs are heavy without seeming mindless and noise made for noise’s sake. This, in addition to the solid drumming throughout all ten songs, shows a definite evolution in the band’s sound between both releases. As all of this has occurred in under a year, this is a considerable testament to the band’s work ethic, which if built upon and maintained, could be pivotal to the band’s success.”
