Some of you will say I am a bit "hard" with Zakk. Some
will say I should not compare this album with Ozzy's records.
But honestly, between you and me, can I ? I am a bit disappointed
with this Stronger Than Death.
Some will finally say it is maybe not my cup of tea. Definitely.
First thing : I cannot afford those vocals. Secondly it is heavy,
for sure, but it is too "draft" for me. Too many elements
have been mixed together and sorry, we are very far (who said on the
moon ?) from what I call heavy metal. I don't want to blame anybody,
but the "mixing" of this album doesn't convince me. Adding
different effects (guitars and other sound) can create sometimes terrific
songs, but one this record it is just killing them. Of course, the
guitar is good, excellent, from heavy to fast, from distorted to clean
riffs ... but it doesn't save Stronger Than Death (which ,
by the way, isn't !).
Metal or rock shouldn't be catchy, heavy, fast, surprising ? Ok it
is really heavy, but I haven't found in this record a single "hit"
or song should I say to sing in my shower, in my car, in my head.
Sorry.
