But first, let's talk about the fat punk'n'roll sound of the 5 guys, both thumbs are definitely up. Good melodies and just the right mix of power in the songs. Plus, the very good voice of Foeny reminds me of Greg Graffin from BAD RELIGION in some songs. However, CHOKING REVENGE still has their own distinct sound and is not just another band that sounds like BAD RELIGION. In addition to a cover song by OXYMORON, there are 10 more songs on the CD, all of which are in English except for one. The lyrics of the German song "Zeugen der Zeit" are not quite smooth, rhyme-wise, but I've heard much worse. Also, in my opinion, the last song "Our Life" doesn't fit on this album. After 10 kickass songs, bringing in a ballad just doesn't work. But that's my subjective impression, as the song will surely find many fans; it's good, it just doesn't fit with the other 10 awesome songs.
However, there are two positive things to report. Firstly, there are good and fitting sound bites on the album, whether it's the "Western & train" sounds or the police siren. This lightens up the 40 minutes of "... in your Face" and makes it even more interesting. The second is the very good booklet! It's worth getting the CD for that! Although, as a perfectionist, I unfortunately had to notice that the page transitions were not cut properly :-( So not only does guitarist Body miss half of his face, but also the "dy" in his name. What a shame... But that shouldn't deter anyone from buying it!
