RockWatch:CD Reviews

With this Five Ounces album one will find a progressive hard rock sequence of songs with sharp edges and heavy hitting vocals, guitar, bass lines and percussion. A number of twists and turns along the classic 70's and 80's rock arena. Recorded at A440 studios in Mpls with clever art work and a number of photos inside making for a well rounded seven track album.
The first song, 'What the Hell' opens to carve out a good sense of their talents and the direction of the album. They reach out and pull you into their music even more so with 'We Want to Move You'. If you're not yet moved by their music, you may very well be reeled in with the song 'Degradation' that clocks in at just over five minutes with the vocal range of Lori and the ease in guitar work that grows well to embrace the lyrics. A change of pace with some snap breaks in with the song 'Indecision'. Then, you are hit hard with an intricate paced track to hook your rock senses as the song 'Shouldn't Matter' brings out a number of change ups with guitar and bass and a flowing range of vocals. Take another gasping breath as you take in 'Fade' which rolls in with softer vocals and holds steady as the vocals of Lori high ride the instrumental flow. Tracks three, five and six are the songs that will likely attract the most interest and draw to the music of Five Ounces.
