“Oracle” is the latest effort
from the Canadian trio Kittie.
The band continues from their last album with pretty much the same
sound with simple catchy riffs, somewhat similar to hardcore. They
have made their music a little more dynamic, but it’s pretty
much straight forward. The album is made up of eleven intense songs
and a couple minutes short of an even fifty in length. I thought over
half the songs were at least decent. My favorites include “In
Winters,” “No Name,” and the Pink Floyd cover of
“Run Like Hell.” It might not be a cover that has the
same complexity of the original, but I always think highly of bands
that can make a cover songs sound like their own. Why should a band
do a cover song and make it sound exactly like the original? If your
going to do a cover, you should do what Kittie did here, and make
it sound like the other songs on the album. Overall this is a good
energy filled album, and I hope these ladies continue on with their
ferocious vocals, catchy riffs and heavy drum beats. Rating: 84 |
