When I put this CD on, I immediately thought I was listening to Nickelback, but with a harder edge. The voice of Andy Biersack sound like an exact copy of Chad Kroeger’s voice. Musically though this band has a sound that is close to Nickelback but is not an exact copy of it.
Personally I found they sounded like a mix of Nickelback with Rage, which might sound like a strange combination, but for me it worked. They combine the more – let’s call it commercial – sound of Nickelback, with the harshness and dark atmosphere Rage can deliver. The production of the album was done by none other than Rob Rock, so you know this must be immaculate, and it is. I found it a very agreeable album to listen to, and if I could choose between Nickelback’s last album, and this one, I’d go for the BVB.
