LIVE AT LAST

I love this band. Got every studio album and never tire of selecting Enchant in mediamonkey and playing random. When I got this disc I thought, "I know I already have every track, but maybe there will be some new wrinkle added to one of my favorites." I hit play and first heard Doug Ott's guitar along with the rest of the band and thought they sound really tight live-cool. Then Ted's vocal's chimed in and I became a little unsure. Well maybe it takes a while for them to kick in I thought. As I listened further, the vocals didn't seem to improve and I soon came to the realization that Enchant just couldn't pull off there studio perfection in a live setting. The vocal really aren't bad, they just aren't near the studio standards. (Sometimes a little off key, sometimes lousy harmonies) With that said, I must say I was dissapointed with the disc. On the plus side, Doug Ott smokes throughout the performance. He's one amazing guitarist. Cheers for Doug Ott's amazing guitar, Jeers for the shoddy vocals. For Enchant newbies start out with Time Lost or Blueprint to get a true appreciation of what these guys are capable of.
