After a rather impressive demo tape by this Seattle quartet, I was eager to
imbibe a full length album. Unfortunately, from the very first track all of the
elements that made the demo so appealing were conspicuously absent. Instead of
the music being a rather well rounded mixture of guitars and electronics, it
ended up sounding like a another metal hybrid band. The album just screams pop
music with it's standard rock composition and rhythm structure. While the
electronics are fairly well programmed, the guitar solos and stereotypical
lyrical structures overshadow them completely. Now while this album will
probably do horrible with the Industrial scene, I can see it doing extremely
well within the guitar crossover scene. Pinch shares a great deal of common
ground with the likes of Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, and Machines of
Loving Grace. However they don't break any new ground or even try to take their
music to anywhere but the commercial audience.
