sets the stage
Here Chevelle establishes its own sound. The potential that we all suspected finally surfaces here.
The guitars are crunchy and there is some tempo unpredictability here. The vocals range and have improved.
Now that they have found themselves, this cd sets the stage for the next, which is even better. Closure, Pain Below, and Red are the instant classics.
The rest of the songs have a lot of repetition. This is much less so on their next cd. The production is good and their musical direction is finally established. They have found themselves, settled on a style, and have lots to build upon now.
The lyrics are certainly obscure. While their is some dealing with the human predicament of sin and the fallen nature, much remains unsettled. There is much emotion but little substance to conclude such difficulties. Christian parents might find this lack of clarity unnerving.
