An American female fronted Greek rock band?????
who would have thought it, 4Bitten, got there name
from there being 4 of them and apprently being bitten
by the 'rock bug' as for how a band got there name
ive heard better stories.
As soon as the first track is half way through
you can pretty much guess as to what your in for
for the rest of the album and in a way your not
disapointed, the first 3 tracks Lightnin Crashing,
Believe, Follow are fairly long affairs and its
not really to there benefit, lighting crashing
good intro and speeding up and slowing down in
places and a solo that seems to have been shoved
in there to add some length, Follow and Believe
both clock in over 5 minutes when they really
don't need to, they also remind me of some early
guns an roses or velvet revolver but with out
having that great riff or catchyness about them,
the singer has a few axel rose moments.
Tell me is one of them ballads heavy in places
softer in others, but is so far the best track
and is also got good pacing and doesnt seems to
go quite quickly, good solid solo an good finish
unlike the previous tracks which seem dragged
out affairs.
Rock and roll dream, you've heard this song a
thousand times, a song about making it as it were,
not really that good trundles along nothing that
jumps out, bit of a track filler.
Waiting so long is a similar track to tell me,
only much much better mixing up acoustic and heavy
guitars, could be a good live acoustic track but
good as it is.
Push it to the limit, has a funk bass line a bit
RHCP if you will, but it doesn't really take off
nothing really memorable other than that bass
line.
The title track No more sins reminds me of a filler
black label society track , great guitar sound,
but nothing that really that jumps out.
Overall its a solid effort while some of the
songs are overly long, but ultimately nothing
new to shout about as its by the numbers blues/hard
rock. Its a good first effort, if you like your
rock/blues middle of the road with some solid
if unimaginative lyrics and solid guitar work,
head out and get it on the 20th of April.
3/5
