Sevendust

Rating: N



buy this at amazon.ca!

Some bands just refuse to pack it in, even when it’s painfully clear that their time has come and gone. Shit, Limp Bizkit and Staind are still putting out records a good six years after most people stopped caring about nu-metal. Atlanta’s Sevendust also seems compelled to flog the dead musical horse with their fifth record, which clings desperately to the old formula, recycling the same old quiet-verse/loud-chorus blueprint. The band also derives more aggressive material from the likes of Pantera. Singer Lajon Witherspoon has a powerful voice but ultimately sounds like a total cheesebag. Neither he nor the album are very compelling.
