Well, I just bought Daath's debut album, The Hinderers. I've only given it one listen through, so I can't pas judgement on it yet. First impressions. . . weeeeell. . . Some of the tracks are really good, and pretty catchy. The guy who does the vocals (Sean Farber) seems to be the limiting factor. . . Sometimes he really fits the song, other times he seems out of place. . . I wish he was a bit more varied. Musically, the album seems very good. I mean, like I said, only one listen, but there are some catchy riffs and it's really grinding, well mixed. I guess the real highlight (or killer, depending on your tastes) is the presence of a synth in some of the songs. A couple of the songs are almost like Death/Dance fusion. I, however, do like it. I think it's a nice combo, kind of like Rob Zombie. . . KIND of. All in all, decent so far, esp. for a debut album. Check it out. Expect a debut though, good album with some major flaws. I hope the vocalist matures vocally. . . if he does, this could be the next big band. . . IF.
