MANTIS

So I continue with the next album from 2009 I've listened to. This album is another noce attempt for interesting contemporary progressive music. I think it succeed partially. It's very intriguing with some of its rhythmic melodies, pleasant sounding and fairly good musicianship. But that's all with the positive points of the album. In Mantis there aren't enough exploration and depth to form memorable album. It lacks sophisticated songwriting moments and special ideas, except in Cemetary Walk , which I consider as the best song on the album. The vocals looks like a pop punk (like the vocals of Sum 41). The music is mainstream rock radio style. As a conclusion I would like to mention Mantis is too american for me, but it's still good album for everyday use.
