You wouldn't survive listening to Granicus the whole
day, but this album is a really gem of Hard rock!
Sound: I was searching for
some really classical Hard Rock from the '60s and '70s. A band with a style
similiar to Led Zeppelin, but with a heavier sound. And Granicus is exactly the
band, I've been looking for. With 5 heavy songs and 3 ballads the album is not
very various in style, but the songs sound quit different, even for the first
time you listen them. The ballads begin with a misterious acustic part and then
grow up to an asskicking hard part. In the heavy songs the heavy rolling parts
are mixed up by fast bridges, mosty containing a vocal or guiatr solo. The lead
guitarist uses a lot of overdubs, what at some moments sounds too chaotic, a
little bit trashy. This psychedelic, progressive garage music is perfect for
driving on the motorway or rocking out with your vacuum cleaner.
Lyrics: The
singer Woody Leffel really spices up the music! Sounding like a guitar blasting
a solo through a Marshall wall, he reaches very high positions and got a range
over 3 octaves. He is often compared to Robert Plant, but his voice is more
powerful, it gets through to your bone marrow. Actually, in the last song
Paradise the screaming is excessive, a bit too much for my nerves. The lyrics
are typical for that era of music: Leffel sings about Drugs, Chicks n' Sex,
dysfunction and the Vietnam war.
Overall Impression: Like I already wrote,
you could compare Granicus to Led Zeppelin, but they have a heavier style. The
second song Bad Talk represents the whole album: noteworthy rhythm riffs
combined with amazing overdubbed guitar solos and screaming vocals. That's what
I call Hard Rock! The fourth song Prayer is an 11 minutes long ballad, that
begins with a restful part like Stairway to Heaven, spiced up with some guitar
effects like reverse reverb. Then the singer intensifies the ballad with his
screaming, until the song finishes with chaotic guitar and vocal solos. You
wouldn't survive listening to Granicus the whole day, but this album is a really
gem of Hard rock! So if you like Led Zeppelin, early Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Guns
N'Roses or Black Sabbath, just give it a try! //This is my first review, and I
know it's not the best. Also I want to apologize for some grammar crap you will
find, English is not my native language. So feel free to criticize, the reason I
wrote this review is that I wanted to share this great band with you all! Check
them out on youtube! (Aryon,/ultimate-guitar.com)
