ANNIHILATOR - FEAST
TRENDS
Annihilator, my favourite band to bash because they used to be good but they started chasing trends and it just made them look rediculous.
So they haven't released anything but modern post-thrash or groove metal or whatever you wanna call it. This is another disc with some interesting solos and guitar rhythms. But overall this is sounds a bit like modern day Metallica. There's things that resembles thrash but it's more music that are aimed for kids that think that Alice in Hell is dad rock.
Feast sounds a bit like your common modern day radio rock albums. You know that garbage that they play on the your local radio stations and they call it metal even though it has more in common with alternative rock. Just listen to the ballad Perfect Angel Eyes, it's one of those über sappy ballads. This is metal for men who like to cry in groups. Or spin the track One Falls, Two Rise, it could have been on a Nickleback album at least until the song picks up some pace, then it sounds like System of a Down or anything crappy like that.
The track Wrapped is also boring. At least the track Deadlock has a few speedy thrash riffs in it. The same goes for Fight the World. Those two tracks saves the album from the 'zero axes out of five' rating. I think Jeff Waters needs to hire a real metal producer and find some musicians that can play on his level and let them influence their sound because Jeff doesn't seem to be able to create good music by himself even if he is an extraordinary guitarist. Right now it's just a waste of his talents. So I hope he finds that so that he can focus on creating riffs that are worthy of his talent instead of playing this kid friendly pop metal. Avoid this one!
