DROWNING POOL / SINNER

Another Nu Metal band from the States at the harder end of the spectrum, similar to Chimaira / Disturbed with a vocalist that reminds me of the guy who sings with Tool and that can’t be bad.

Right from the first track "Sinner" they hit you with their awesome power and melody which has made this new batch of Metal bands so popular and like Linkin Park and Papa Roach one listen to "Tear Away" will have you singing along to the chorus of "I don’t care for anyone else but ME" at the top of your voice, with much annoyance to the neighbors, sorry about that. The second track "Bodies" is just as good and just as memorable and all of these tracks could and probably will be on Kerrang TV very soon if not now as I type this review and as for as I am concerned it con only be good.

Overall this is a very good CD and well worth the tenner that I spent on it, if you like all of the aforementioned bands then you will love this and like the Downer CD that came out last year it get’s my Budgies attention and a better recommendation than that you cant get.
