Whoa...yea you're right. I tried listening to some tracks and I swear I've heard these melodies at some other time before. Boring indeed.

At least to me, it did not sound as horrendous as the review says... you probably didn't hear it in the right mood Bas.
I've heard worse.

It's indeed incredibly boring. But there's something I don't understand about this review. What does it have to do on a Metal board?
Because there's nothing metal about the songs I heard. I would call this 'relaxation music', though it is way too bad to be relaxing in any enjoyable way.

They are signed to a label that has a roster filled with metal bands. They are obviously promoting these guys to the metal community as they seem to believe there is potential for crossing over into a metal fanbase. Highly unlikely by the sounds of their material though...

I think they won't get many fans, metalheads or not. Some albums simply suck, regardless of the genre they belong to, and this album is one of them.

Damn thats low... Though it IS pretty boring and the production is quite awful, but isn't 3.5 a little bit too low..? I heard worse than this.

Why would it be low? Things like that are useless crap, no value. To tell the truth, I would often give shitty albums a negative rating, would it be possible, because I can't find any redeeming feature in them, nothing positive to say.

Nothing positive to say? What about the fact that it would make for a perfect lullaby soundtrack. Imagine all the children it could help put to sleep.

As Troy said, it's sent by a label with a mostly metal roster and a couple of non-metal bands too. Some of them are very good and are likely to appeal to metalheads (for example Nihil Novi Sub Sole). Personally I listen to a lot of non-metal bands and enjoy a wide variety of genres, that's why I don't see a problem with just reviweing whatever they send my way. It's always a hit or miss thing, but I'd say it's worth the try.

Honestly, I don't think there is a right mood for this album, if there is I hope not to be in it

Of course, I've heard worse too, but that doesn't make this any better than it is. If I get a record for reviewing that's worse than that, it'll just get an even lower rating

Well.. I may not completly agree with the rate. But seeing non-metal reviews here is always good news to me

After listening to a few tracks off their MySpace, I was expecting worse based off this review. I was actually expecting something much more bleak. Do you listen to a lot of this stuff? Because it's easy to imagine some people actually digging it. I can understand that listening to the whole album would drive someone mad who hates it to begin with though.

A 3.5 for Bas is usually a 4 for anyone else.
...But yeah, this is pretty boring, the vocalists even sound bored.
