FLOTSAM AND JETSAM – Flotsam and
Jetsam

Records
I
dig the genres these guys belong to, both power/thrash type and to be honest
I’ve never (well, that’s a long time) heard a band that falls under these two
particular styles. Quite interesting. The music and lyrics definitely are
inspiring mainly the vocals make it “power” and the guitar-style is in “thrash”
mode. I enjoyed this album thoroughly from beginning to finish.
There’s
times where I heard the best new songs are maybe as example the new METALLICA I
like disc one as opposed to only some of disc two. On here, you (well at least
me) don’t want it to end. But yeah, I’m being honest about the new METALLICA
and with this band; it’s my first release that I’ve owned of theirs. I’m proud
to own it because it’s superb in many different ways.
The
music is what hit me the most. The guitar riffs I just love all of them and the
leads are quality too. That’s what I look for in a band, vocals second. That’s
the way I’ve always been. But yeah, the way that they coordinated the vocals
with the guitar is better than quality to me. I dig the vocals too, they’re not
annoying and the lyrics are decent. I can’t relate to them, but they were
meaningful.
Sound-wise
the production/mixing was absolutely awesome. Everything you can hear in full
roar and the drums too were well mixed in and were in unison with the guitar.
One helluv an output by these guys. They really put a good effort to make this
more than just a “B” graded release. It’s “the guitars, man, the guitars.” But
really everything musically went well on here.
This
is the type of album that you can listen to repeatedly and hear different
things than before. It’s not a fast release, the music is upbeat and
riff-tastic. It’s not a word, but I’m classifying the guitars here so not
everything is going to sound plausible/sensible to you if you’re not a
guitarist.
I
actually heard one song from this album on YouTube (thanks Jani) and that
prompted me to buy this album. The whole release is on YouTube, but really, you
get the full effect if you buy it. Not only are you supporting what these guys
do for a living and also living it old school and still buying CD’s. Not this
digital download crap that doesn’t support the band really. It feeds into the technological
generation.
