Corporate Line: ENDANGERED SPEICIES is the byproduct of a band who aren’t afraid to take risks, the spirit of their hard rock and heavy metal fundamentals becoming all the more potent when blended with the sense of musical adventure that too many of their peers lack. In fact, if there was any one thing that was unanimous in Flaw’s approach to their sophomore release, it was an unwillingness to compromise their artistic integrity, the very integrity that forms the foundation of ENDANGERED SPECIES.
The Good:
Nothing
The Average:
“Endangered Species” – Singer Chris Volz has a hint of Ozzy in his voice—to bad he doesn’t have the Ozzman’s songs.
“Recognize” and “Wait For Me” – Three ballads back to back to back—wake me when its done. “Wait For Me” is boy band sappy.
The Ugly:
“Medicate” – Go growl at someone else because it isn’t working for me.
“You’ve Changed” – This song made me laugh—not good when its supposed to be serious ‘art.’ Okay, calling it art makes me laugh, too.
Frankly: Flaw start off growling, then tries to rock like Ozzy only to cure insomnia throughout the rest of the record. Am I bitter? Yes. If you listened to this record for fifty minutes you’d be bitter too.
