DEAD RECKONING

Ok. We've got a new album from THRESHOLD. Slipstream, the first song starts en force. It sounds like a bad version of THRESHOLD. And then comes the death growl. Ooook. What in the world happened to our ol' good masters that created "Hypothetical" and "Critical Mass"? The first chorus doesn't sound nice. The others are a bit better, maybe do to the instruments. "This Is Your Life" is better. Full of synths and growl-free. "Elusive", the third track contains some interesting riffs and an amazing solo. At 4:10 it is godlike. But there come the death growls again. "Disappear" is my favorite track, due to the piano and to the chorus. I'll let the others detail the rest of the songs. However, the conclusion is that I'm not impressed.
