(Audiocrash) Audiocrash is a two man team with a backup band to help them along. The overall feel of this release is that the songs are acoustical in nature, but given a rockin' makeover. The music in itself is good, but I'm still on the fence with the lyrics, and the vocals could use some improvement. They remind me of a cross between Lach and Neil Diamond for some reason, the only difference is that when Audiocrash starts to put emphasis on a line, ala Bruce Springsteen, you can hear the cracking in the vocals. It just doesn't sound good. This is a band I would go see, but wouldn't buy the CD.

Definitely not a good CD at all. I agree completely about the lyrics and vocals. Really just straining to seem "rockin'." I don't think I'd even go see these guys live given their videos on YouTube. Mediocre "rock" at best.
It is actually refreshing to hear straight up rock with heart-felt lyrics without synth crap or any other ornate nonsense which can distract from these songs. If I where a betting man I'd say chances are they rock live!
I actually really dig that album... found this review.. I think it speaks to this effort as I hear it.. sorry ChickenFish... just cant agree on this
