To start with my conclusion. This album is a typical sing-along album. The songs aren’t very difficult and after a few times of listening most of the songs will stick in your head. A positive thing? Well, normally I’d say yes. But for some reason I’m missing some elements on this album. I’m not saying I don’t like this album but I think you all know what I mean if I say that I miss something that makes this album a unique one, right?!

 

But, as I said before, the songs are nice for a sing-along session. They’re powerful as well and musically this band sure is ready to conquer more parts of the world except from Germany only. But then there are the vocals. They’re nice, but certainly not more than that. I kinda have the feeling that the vocals are the missing element on this album. They’re catchy but on the other hand I can imagine that you’ll hate ‘em. Vocalist Patric also seems to have some trouble with keeping his screams up longer then 3 seconds, before he falls back to his ‘normal voice’. And screams my dear readers, isn’t that why we listen metal so often? Because of the great screams and grunts and stuff like that?

 

Well, I’ll stop bitching right now, because NME.MINE deserves better than that. They have a lot of potential and I think this band can only grow bigger in the scene. And the vocalist isn’t that terrible. You know what? Actually he’s quite good but I just like to advice him to practice his screams a bit more.

 

All in all, the album is catchy as a motherfucker when it comes to the sing-along element. But don’t expect the rough screaming metal you may be used to. A minor or a challenge? Find out yourself!
