Info:
Widow are of that school where they mix in classic metal sounds with a flourish or two of 70's hard rock guitar stylings, and this time they also throw in some rather bad Children of Boredom-ish harsh vocals. I'm not opposed to this kind of thing in principle, but these are just not done well, and they don't complement the music at all, sounding more hardcore than cool. Other than that, the songwriting is solid on this album, with good riffs and some classy leads. The vocals are solid, if unspectacular, and they get you there, but this band could use a better singer. The songs range from killer slabs of metal killing like "Beware The Night" and "I'll Make You A Star" to sillier songs like "Teacher's Pet". The lyrics are not terrible serious a lot of the time, but the songs rock.
