Species Deceases

In Wilson and Alroys' Reviews

The band's second four-track EP, this is a reasonable buy but not a must-have, especially if you have to shell out big bucks to get it on CD. The key track is "Progress," a fine guitar anthem with tons of solid riffs. But "Hercules" is also first rate, with exciting dynamics, a nice singalong chorus, and even some backwards guitars on the fade. The other two tunes aren't as substantial but they're okay: "Blossom And Blood" doesn't do much with its intriguing chorus; "Pictures" sounds like a retread from the band's primitive, late 70's punk-rock phase. I just wish they had packaged this along with an album or the other EP on a single disc.

Rating: ***
