Finger Eleven - The Greyest of Blue Skies
Wind-Up Entertainment
Rating
Most bands dread the sophomore slump. Finger Eleven transcends that trap and has created a album that is in many ways far superior than their debut "Tip". It further shows that the group is growing musically. When they released their debut, they were at the forefront of the new metal sound, now they are seasoned veterans. Vocalist Scott Anderson continues his style of demonstrating the fine balancing between the scream and melody. The music takes on an industrial metal touch that carries the listener from track to track. From the first note of "First Time" Finger Eleven got my attention and never let go through all eleven tracks. The first single "drag you down" should give listeners a clear understanding of why this band stands out from crowd. The sixth track "Broken Words" is a sure radio hit if it becomes a single. It's slow and moody verses balanced against an incredible chorus easily make this one of the best songs in a collection of great songs.  "Sick of it all" is another standout, with multi-layered music and a chorus containing a solid vocal hook that will have you singing along on the first listen. This album contains eleven songs and it's eleven great songs you will get, no filler here. Congrats to Finger Eleven for overcoming the sophomore slump unscathed. We look forward to great things from these guys!
