Flatlyne

Six songs from the latest bunch of Godsmack/Pearl Jam wannabees. Need I
say more? They rip off both bands in a big way! Their singer (No info
came with the CD so his name, as well as the names of all the band's
members, is unknown to me) sounds like he's imitating Sully Erna and
Eddie Vedder, and the playing (Especially the guitar) sounds like it
was
photocopied from a Godsmack album. All six songs sound pretty much
alike, there's not a lot of diversity or originality here. The
Flatlyners, to be fair, can play pretty well, but can't they be a bit
more original? Why be Godsmack clones when we already have a Godsmack,
plus many other copycat bands? Needless to say, this didn't excite me
very much. I've heard this all before. I think these guys can do
better. They chose a fitting name for their band, if you ask
me, because their music doesn't have a lot of life in it.
