| | Impressions: Saosin - In Search of Solid Ground |
Can't really call this "first impressions" since I have been listening to Saosin's In Search of Solid Ground for some time now. I have been hoping it would click after a few listens, but no such luck. The record is just, well...boring.
These guys have gone from being one of the most promising bands in the scene to being an above-average radio-rock group. Sadly seems like the sophomore slump hit Saosin pretty hard.
PS - where the hell is Saosin hiding Alex Rodriguez on this record? Where is the killer drumming from S/T on most of the tracks? Dude has to be the most under-utilized drummer ever on this album. | | Tags: first impressions, saosin |

What did these guys do to draw the ire of what seems like everyone on the site? They did what seemed like the impossible, when their S/T album lived up to the expectations I had for it. It seems like when it came out, some people just hated on it to be contrary, now people talk shit on the band whenever there is a news post.
I understand they take forever between records and can be inconsistent live. But is it just me or do they get WAY more shit than they deserve here? | | Tags: saosin |
