Anywho, I'm not even entirely sure what this means... Are you implying my tiny brain can't comprehend the majesty of Manilla Road? Are you saying I should stick to mainstream stuff because I can't appreciate anything moderately obscure? I'm genuinely curious.Bastardheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653810815019959177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141184874069158818.post-29482041863823686602013-02-20T17:06:15.412-06:002013-02-20T17:06:15.412-06:00After this review, I revisted The Deluge and I hav...After this review, I revisted The Deluge and I have to agree, it's a very good album. Clearly the band is/was capable of so much more, and I understand that Shelton is like sixty years old nowadays, but it doesn't make the fact that this album is boring and lazy okay.Bastardheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653810815019959177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141184874069158818.post-81204006123926003802013-02-20T15:55:29.167-06:002013-02-20T15:55:29.167-06:00Album is incredibly boring, and that's from a ...Album is incredibly boring, and that's from a Manilla Road fan of 20+ years.

Specifically the vocals and guitar tone (which sounds like it was run through a Zoom multi-effects pedal from the late 90's).<br /><br />I think one thing that stands out consistently is the drumming. Not the most technical, perhaps, but it has plenty of energy.big_red01027noreply@blogger.com
