Weatherbox - American Art
Reviewed by agloriousruin
With obvious influences like Say Anything... and Saves The Day shining through, there are actually quite a few likeable things about prog rock band Weatherbox's debut LP, American Art. That being said, however this is a difficult album to get a hold of. Lead singer Brian Warren's Bemis-like mixture of mediocre singing and yelling are a bit grating at times, which brings what might be an otherwise enjoyable album down. The music is strong pretty much throughout, but the musical influences (Kaddisfly, for instance) don't always seem to match Warren's vocals. When its all over, I wouldn't say that American Art is a bad album; its just not for me. [www.myspace.com]
