The first in a series of short reviews of unsolicited promo CDs:
Senses Fail
Life Is Not a Waiting Room (Vagrant)
I'm a sucker for big melodies and state-of-the-art guitar tone. I mean, I heard .38 Special's "Somebody Like You" on the radio last week and thought, "I need to buy some .38 Special. Those guitars sound like lasers."
Senses Fail has both big melodies and laser-like guitars. Unfortunately, those tools are used in the service of lyrics like, "So help me please someone come quick I think I am losing it" and screamo breakdowns about burning on a beach "where the sand is littered with razor blades."
