Artist: Silver Snakes
Album: Year of the Snake
Source: Spotify
Pre-listening Notes: I am guessing they are named after one of the teams from Legends of the Hidden Temple. This album is on Bridge 9 and apparently they are on tour with The Ocean. These are the only things I know going in. So go!
Initial Reaction: It's got a rock vibe, I guess I was expecting heavier things. I am not opposed to this whole post hardcore, grunge revival, 90's alt-rock worship vibe going on here. The first song is short and sweet.
Random Thoughts: Second song has more of the 90's alt rock worship going on. This reminds me of something that I could have seen touring with the Jupiter/Antenna era Cave In or maybe opening for the reunited Failure. I get a similar vibe. I kind of like this. Some of the songs have a heavier feel to them, for a rock band. Then there is an acoustic song nestled in the middle of all this. This is a pretty cool album, so far, it has a vibe that I can get behind. I'd like to see them play live, if that tour was hitting Buffalo, I'd be going for sure. Maybe they'll hit the city up down the road. This is some pretty cool stuff.
Final Reaction: Not much to say other than I really liked it. It has a real alt rock feel to it and I found myself just letting the songs end and begin without really noticing those points. I didn't feel the need to comment on each song, because I feel like the album, as a whole, was just a good listening experience. I will be waiting for these guys to make their way up to Buffalo, so I can check out the live show.
Final Grade: 7.0/10
