Minus - Jesus Christ Bobby (CD)

Nordic souls united

By J.  Sep 13, 2001

Minus is a band that hails from the great white North, (no, the OTHER great white North), and brings with them all the negativity, insight, and sheer extremism that one can expect from pale-skinned human sthat face winter almost nine months out of th...e year. All the years of being pent-up in the cold have made this band one of the most brutal hardcore acts I have ever listened to. I liken them to the Deftones and Glassjaw being high on massive amounts of heroin, (if not already, this is an example folks!), and then being told their music sucks. The result is one pissed off album and one nasty sound. Minus has some rather intense moments on this album, but tends to have some subtle moments here and there where melody is injected...but very infrequently. Minus is a hardcore act through and through and shine on this album with meticulous songwriting, production, and emotion beyond compare. These guys really feel what they are doing and it is expressed well through the music. I only wish that they had more melody, and that some groove was played into some of the music. That would make this a classic album. Finding the balance between all these elements is what makes metal bands shine. I think Minus has that in their future. Read more Less
