Get up, come on get down with the sickness.... Oh wait, this
isn't Disturbed, but man, the riff from the opening track of "Stress"
is almost, well, I'll let you decide. Anyhow, Stompbox play a heavy sounding
alternative metal with some progressive elements and grunge mixed in. Upon
first listen, I didn't pay this album much mind, but after a few additional
listens, I began to hear the progressive and heavier elements more clearly and
appreciated the sound much more. I like grunge and alternative metal, but they’re
not my go to genre of choice, I always like to come across one that slips under
the radar. Fans of the transitioning sound metal found itself in during the
early 90’s will definitively get a kick out of this, but I think anyone looking
for a slightly less heavy, more hard rock oriented sound would enjoy this as
well.
Highlights: "No Woods...No Backstage Pass!",
"The Making of Pump", "Now What it's Worth" "Forever (In Blue Jeans)"
