Don’t you just love it when a press release
is written to make a band sound something really
special that it leaves you excited wanting to hear
the band and then when you finally give them a listen
you are left disappointed?. Well that’s the
effect that the press release for We The Faceless
had on me, it bigged them up to be a new grunge
band with the same energy and passion as bands such
as Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam
and then went on to claim the band to be one of
the most popular and exciting acts in the country.
Considering this is first I have ever heard of
the band, I can’t see them being the most
popular act in the country, as for exciting there
is nothing new or exciting on offer within the
18minutes of their debut EP, and as for the same
energy and passion as the legendary bands listed
above, don’t even get me started on it.
There are some good moments on the EP but there
is nothing about the EP that is going to make
you want to listen to it again. The guitar riffs
on 'Firefly' are good but the thing is they could
easily have been cut from a Queens Of The Stone
Age Song. The opening to 'Burn The Witch' sounds
like the same opening to 'Schism' by Tool, well
that’s until a set of boring vocals come
in.
The best moment on the EP has to be the finishing
song 'Franco's Parrot', and no I don’t mean
that because the EP finally ends, the song is
actually packed full of energy and everything
is executed in such a passionate way, but sadly
its come too late in the EP to save this far below
average offering.
If I bought this EP on reading and believing
what the press release said then I would be totally
mugged off, as its nothing like they have made
it out to sound like, and I reckon The faceless
are as popular as this review is going to be with
the band once they set their eyes on it.
2/5
