Music reviews of All That Remains

Music Review: Vastly different from the old Fozzy
Rating: 3 Stars

Most people simply dismiss Fozzy as a professional wrestler's side project. Most people laugh at the idea of Fozzy. Most people severely underestimate the talent of this band. However, there is no mistaking that STUCK MOJO's Rich Ward and WWE's own Chris Jericho made an impressive offering at the heavy metal table with their first two albums. Albeit mostly cover songs, Fozzy managed to take metal classics and make them ear-breakingly heavy, and it worked. Emulating legends such as IRON MAIDEN, PRIEST, THE SCORPIONS and BLACK SABBATH they created a unique sound that glowed with the light of 80's metal.

Having said that, and being a Fozzy fan myself, I was a bit dissappointed with "All That Remains". I'm sad to say this isn't the same Fozzy. It simply doesn't resemble the riff-heavy and melodic gutbusters they put out on "Fozzy" and "Happenstance". Rich Ward, while an undeniably brilliant guitarist, fails to deliver the song-writing on this all-originals album. The original material pales in comparison to the cover work they did back in 2000.

When comparing it to their old work, the album is an enervating departure from the clean, precise and melodic sound they delivered half a decade ago. However, perhaps this album should be reviewed on its own merits and without considering Fozzy's previous works. On its own, the album does stand quite firm. It's just simply not the old Fozzy.

1. Nameless Faceless - this is where the "this-is-not-the-old-Fozzy" shock kicks in. Like mamy songs on the album it's incredibly heavy and lacking in harmony but there are some good guitar parts in there.

2. Enemy - one of those songs that can easily stand on its own. Definitely one of the better songs on the album. Probably due to the precision of the guitars and the clean sound, tipping a hat to 80's metal but definitely not a sign of things to come.

3. Wanderlust - another heavy song with a catchy chorus. Good guitar work as well.

4. All That Remains - a slow song. The high notes made me cringe the first run-through, but it definitely grows on you.

5. The Test - Rich Ward just barely makes his songs unique from other songs on the album. Several good spots during this tune.

6. It's A Lie - my favorite song on the album. It's a very lively metal/rap mix, though the rap part isn't as dominant as one might think. Bonecrusher lends his rap skills (?) and altogether the song flows quite nicely.

7. Daze Of The Weak - another catchy chorus, but besides some riffing here and there, the rest of the song falters.

8. The Way I Am - The only song in which I noticed there was someone playing the drums. Most of the drumming seems cookie-cutterish throughout All That Remains, but at least in this song it stands out more.

9. Lazarus - A rather boring song.

10. Born Of Anger - This song angered me. It's a quick diversion to some sort of thrash metal with blastbeats and angry yelling vocals. It seemed so unnecessary. The album would have done better without it.

In short, if you were looking for the old ass-kicking, metal-riffing Fozzy from 5 years ago, then please divert your attention to classic bands like IRON MAIDEN, because you won't find it in All That Remains. However, if you can cope with the radical change in playing style that Fozzy underwent, then by all means...give it a shot, it's not bad.
