Mushroomhead ripoff plain and simple.

Whatever happened to a little rhythm and soul in rock and roll?

Couldn't understand all the words. Not really singing just alot of yelling.

Rap-Rock is getting so yesterday.

Reviews from End 7s own web site.

To begin this review, this band clearly borrowed lots of elements from a lot of bands. The band combines all kinds of modern sounding metal and groovy rock. And that leads to a very interesting, very well produced and varied EP. Influences are clearly taken from bands like Linkin Park, Spineshank, Linea 77 and comparable acts. Modern samples, melodic guitars, melodic and varied vocals (from screams, clean to raps and back) and a very suggestive way of drumming. Sometimes the influences are a bit too clear and in such cases it sounds more like a rip-off than an own song, the first track, "On The Verge", for instance could easily be a Linkin Park song (yes, that could be taken as a compliment to the musicians).

Arvosana: 3/5

Linkin Park influenced? Must be nu metal. Yuck.
