All right, I'm just going to start out with it simply: this band
rocks. Right out of the gate they kick it nicely with "Made
it" that harkens back to the early nineties alternative rock,
yet up to date on vibe and feel. The ambiance created is intense
with well-chosen points of release; the production is the biggest
bonus factor on this record.
The songs are intelligent in their design showing good production
choices, that ebb and flow through the album. The guitar and bass
effects are superb, as one takes the fore the other pulls back
for emphasis. It is a well contrived dance they maintain, as the
drums ransack the background without taking attention away from
the other instruments in a very subtle mix. The vocals are perfect
for the material - perfectly primed for the rage at certain points
and perfectly poignant at others, in order to express the pathos.
The first time I listened to Personal Space I didn't even
notice the backing vocals, but then I realized how much they added
to the album, as they gracefully appear in the wings without pulling
focus, yet filling in the area in between.
This band fits my niche', with the correct amount of drive, and
power, and is smart enough to not get complacent with the material;
all around a nice effort. Front to back this is a good album."Still"
and "Peace Of Mind" are just plain killer songs. They
even manage to make "Working For The Weekend" into a
good song, although it doesn't vary greatly from the original.
For rock-solid music I am glad that I know Jet Motor Crash
now, and I hope they continue to put out quality albums such as
this one.
