Review - Stay Sharp - Four Songs

Stay Sharp - Four Songs

View The Review

8 out of 10

Four tracks, eight minutes of anthemic melodic East Coast hardcore. Paint it Black, Kid Dynamite, Bane, maybe a touch of As Friends Rust in the more reflective moments. It's nothing new, nor does it pretend to be, but it rolls with the genre better than most. You'll probably have a fair idea of whether you're going to like this from the influences above, and if you don't it's not going to change your mind. I do, apart from two minor gripes - the aforementioned lack of originality (Which isn't really a problem, to be honest - I think I prefer this to the new Paint it Black album) and it's just too damn short to be a good car CD.
