When I started listening to this CD by Jack
Frost, the intro track made me think that this band was like My Dying
Bride, then when the first full song started I realized that this
band is almost exactly like the Death Rock legends Babylon Whores.
As "Gloom Rock Asylum" goes on, this similarity becomes
very prevalent. But the songs aren't written as well, and aren't as
enjoyable as the Babylon Whores. Basically Jack Frost is a gothic
band, that tries to put a little edge to their music. "You Are
The Cancer" is probably the best track on this CD. The song "In
Gloom" is a decent track, and "Pyschodrome" is another
good track. The band does a cover of "California Dreaming,"
a good cover, but the song seems to slow to enjoy. But I give the
band credit because they didn't replicate the songs, they rewrote
it so it sounds like their style. This CD has eight tracks that last
for nearly thirty-nine minutes, which is a good length since their
first track is an intro. Overall this CD is a decent effort and if
the band wants to get some recognition they should write their songs
more aggressive like the Babylon Whores. Rating: 74 |
