10 Years - The Autumn Effect
Blurb
10 Years are new kids on the block, but their music hs a maturity that far belies their novice standing. Here is an album that is about the music, pure and simple - no howling alt metal, no sing-along riffs. Their lyrics are poetic and spacey, and touch a nerve. The word you want to use is feeling, because their music has feeling. In fact, the band break all the traditional rockstar norms, comfortable being misfits and working with Amnesty International.
The album has been put together excellently, and the Tool/Deftones influence is highly noticeable. 'Wasteland' has already been making waves for the last few months, and 'Half Life' is another powerful song. Beautiful melody is woven with excellent instrumentals, soaring vocals and jarring bass all come together to create the perfect album, that does not get stale even after constant replaying. 'Through The Iris' and 'Faultline' are emblematic of this.
One thing they might be faulted on is that there is a note of repetitiveness in the album, but for a debut effort that can be forgiven. This is a band that will go really far, watch out for them.

The song 'Wasteland' is the only song of theirs i like...but I love their vocals!
I bought the cd for Wasteland, but I ended up loving every other track on there. It's one of my main cds now that I listen to. They're a new group, and they deserve whatever fame they recieve for their talent.
I'm in love with them! Their stuff is just so original, I fell in love the moment I heard fault line. My favourite album for sure, I listen to them everyday. My favourite track is The Autumn Effect, something about it just gets to me. I hope they make it to England.
