Customer Reviews

Needs Focus – Justin Gaines – Northern Virginia
I picked up Further Lo’s self-titled debut album on a whim. I saw it in a clearance bin and decided to give it a shot, not really knowing just what to expect. These guys are all over the place on this album. One minute it’s sounding like a thrash metal album, then it shifts to a doomier sound, then it’s sounding closer to stoner rock, then over to a nu-metal/alternative rock sound. I’m reminded of Faith No More, Brand New Sin, Stone Temple Pilots, and Sevendust all at once. This all over the place, mish-mash of styles is distracting to say the least, and robs what could have otherwise been a good album of some much needed focus. It’s one thing to incorporate various styles into your overall sound, but when the styles change from one song to the next, it seems as if the band can’t decide what they want to sound like.

Call this one a 2.5 star album. The potential is there, but it’s just not working on this particular album. The poor production values don’t help much either.
