Five tracks of heavy rock with a touch of stoner sensibilities, without much to make them stand out from other modern heavy rock acts. A few momentary touch-ups of studio effects lend things a little more pizzazz, and the drift into playful bluesiness with midway track “Hitch Hike” shows a life to the song-writing that’s essentially absent from the rest of the songs, but the bulk of it ends up unmemorable due to playing it too safe (even in the ~9-minute “Cage”), an approach that goes right against the presented values of the style. Fans of that style who aren’t too picky about the earnestness or creativity behind the music they listen to should be able to get some enjoyment out of this (and admittedly, there’s some very nice work done with the guitar tones), but for those who need something higher-grade, there’s plenty of preferable options.
