    Music:

    Not as good as the first....

    By James  Mar 23, 2005

    Pros: There are 13 tracks

    Cons: Most of them sound the same

    I have been waiting ever since hearing THE LONELY POSITION OF NEUTRAL for the follow up to that masterpiece. "Falling Apart" from LONELY is by far my favorite TRUSTCompany song. I was hoping to hear songs like this improved upon, taken far...ther. What I got was rehashing of the same from the first album. I am not a fan of bands changing their sound. Stone Temple Pilots is the greatest example, as I LOVED CORE and PURPLE and grew to hate the next three releases. The Offspring is one of my favorite bands because while they try different things, they realize they have a sound and they stick with it. TRUSTCompany seems to get that they have a sound, but they do nothing with it. There is no branching out, no trying to incorporate different things into "their sound". Most of the CD sounds like one long song cut into different parts. The first CD was very powerful and emotion filled and I read it was because the lead singer was going through a divorce. I happen to read the thanks inside the cover and I see he is thanking his beautiful wife. So he got remarried. This may explain the weak CD. The same thing happened with STAIND. Once Aaron got over his anger, trauma, etc. the music suffered. I am happy that Kevin finally got his personal life back together, but unfortuantely his music is the casualty. "Stronger" is probably the best song on here. Followed by "Crossing the Line" and "Silently". Track number 41 (the hidden track) is good and I am confused why a song better than most of the regular tracks is the hidden one. Normally when a band hits and you love their first release, you salivate over their second offering, especially if the time gap between the two is so wide. Call this one a mild drool. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: True Parallels

  • All Music Guide

    With True Parallels, commercial hard rockers Trust Company do little to undo the anonymity the band brought forth on its 2002 debut The Lonely Position of Neutral. Sure, "Stronger" is an energetic, riffladen highproduction number, but the group might as well be Hoobastank or Papa Roach, as it does little to carve its own mainstream identity. Produced by bigname heavy rock knobtwiddlers Howard Benson and Don Gilmore, melodic noise like "The War Is Over," and loud faceless crunch rock like "Fold" and "Surfacing" may keep the cash registers ringing at Sam Goody, but it's still steeped in mediocrity.

When Palmer and Singleton first joined musical forces nearly a decade ago, they were teenagers tinkering with the crash and grind of heavy-as-Helmet guitars. Moates came into the fold a few years later and Fukai rounded o... Read more
