| Sara Wendt Weightless With Love Can Sara Wendt be properly categorized? Probably not. Wendt's voice is somewhat ghostly, spirited, and downhearted at times, depending on the mood of the song. Too much singing in the indie world today is fueled by irony and detachment, but this album fails to captivate. The album narrates of finding love, keeping it, and never ever ever ever letting it go. Cynics beware, Sara is in love, and wants the whole world to know about it and sing along. |
| Terror Rhythm Amongst the Chaos The name terror truly fits this band. They are strong, distinguished, and metal. It is everything metal and hardcore stand for. Though it is only and EP, Rhythm Amongst the Chaos has purpose behind the lyrics. It is in your face. Raw. Gritty. The title track and opener comes blasting out of the gates in a distinctive style -- fast and heavy, while proving the band have become considerably more articulate since the days of "fist to your fucking face." If anything, "Rhythm Amongst the Chaos" is actually lyrically reflective: "So many miles, / I've become part of the road. / Through every city, crossed every border, / [...] / I hear these streets; / they talk to me. / Through all their pain and broken dreams." It's not Shakespeare, but there's a sense of |
| consideration and reflectiveness here that's largely been void from much of Terror's catalog. Things shut down with a cover of Breakdown's "Kickback," with retro-sounding gang vocals and a special appearance by Jedi Mind Tricks' Vinnie Paz, whose role actually helps cement a nice vocal energy to the song's final bars. |
