Nonpoint"Recoil" 'Recoil' is the third release by Nonpoint. The Florida based band who is now with Lava Records put forth a heavy hit mix of songs on this disk. If anyone listens to your local rock station, you have probably heard the song, 'The Truth'. a very catchy, hard rocking tune with a cool melody to it. Well the rest of the album simply kills. I had been somewhat familiar with the song and the band from where I live. They play it to death as with a few other successful radio bands. I'm sure you know what I'm saying. So when I saw I had to review it, I thought, oh boy. Well I'm sorry Nonpoint. I don't dislike the radio song 'The Truth', but was expecting much of the same throughout. I was wrong. There are some very heavy, hard hitting tunes all over it. Of course there is a couple of power ballads. Nonpoint seem geared towards the radio rockin' genre. The Shinedown's, Trapt's, Ra's . Following me? Well they are a very good group and this disk is full of pulsating guitar riffs and angst filled lyrics. This is a well rounded, hard slamming rock album. ' Rabia, Move Now ,The Same, Done It Away' are just a few of the politically charged tracks on the disk. They also do a kick ass cover of the Phil Collins tune 'In The Air Of The Night'. Nonpoint are not an over night band, at it since '97, I'm sure their name and sound will soon to become more recognized now and in the future. If the stations in your area are not playing them, they're dumb asses. Just that simple. Highly recommended to all rockers. |
