have liked this band since they started. they make great albums, this one is no exception. they are also happy to tour in wales on a regular basis unlike many other bands. 10 out of 10.
Well, `Animals' `Tweaked', and `Seven' always remain favorites. Having said this, Dissonance really gets to the nuts of the matter. This work is both thumping and heartfelt. The tracks Dissonance, Fine Line, and Lazy Daisy each capture elements of the band; and do so with a level of power, emotion, and feel seemingly only present intermittently on more recent efforts. High and Altered States get after it, while Joni Lynn and Chicago tap a sensitivity most are too careful to experience. Hell, Dissonance may be in my all time top-10 of slammin' cuts (perhaps because my path mirrors many of DV's trials and tribulations). Yeah, sometimes it all dissolves to nothing but dissonance (though we hide our tears whilst running for the fence).
I recommend this LP to any who want to experience how the up's, down's, and all-around's of life come through when one is sensitive enough to just let it flow. Nice job guys (wish Derek was here to hear it with us).
Well, I keep trying, but they keep failing! After getting hooked on Enuff z Nuff years back with arguably one of the best rock albums created, "Strength", I continue to be disapointed! Although I'll agree that some albums since have had a few above average songs, all in all, they've never seemed to find whatever magic in a bottle they created with Strength. There new release is only proving that it's time to get a desk job! There isn't one hit here! I read the reviews and was excited to hear that most reviews said it was their comeback CD, with the addition to their old guitarist! Not only is this not a comeback CD, but it's their worst CD to date. It's poorly recorded, the singer sounds tired and the musicians can't seem to remember what a hook sounds like! Sorry to say, they seem to have lost the will to rock! RIP!
