Music reviews of Stavesacre

Music Review: A mixed bag
Rating: 3 Stars

With their first two albums Friction and Absolutes, Stavesacre proved they could write powerful, aggressive songs. With their third album, Speakeasy, they showed that they have a handle on more balladic and radio-friendly material as well. But something went a bit wacky with this fourth album. A few things, actually.

First, as others have noted, the production quality isn't quite as good as it was on prior albums, most notably in the rhythm guitar tracks. Something's going on in the 1K-3K range that I can't quite put my finger on. I'm not sure if it was a mic placement issue or an EQ issue, but a comparison between the EP and the full-length album versions of "Witch Trial" will bear this out. The mix on the EP version of Witch Trial has much more "bite" to it than the album version.

Second, a few of the vocal patterns on this album seem a bit awkward, and at times some of the lyrics come off as a bit cliche, as "Alice Wishlist" and "If Not Now" illustrate. Finally, although there are a few strong tracks on the album (e.g., Witch Trial, A Place Where I Can Breathe, and Why Good People Suffer), the album as a whole doesn't gel well like the prior three did. Granted, an album should have dynamics- one generally doesn't want to put all the heavy, fast songs together and all the softer, slower songs together, but this one's a bit awkward. It's almost as if they found a niche with their first two albums, then struck out into new territory on the third album, and on this album were trying to fuse the two approaches.

The good news, however, is that after spending a bit more time together with the new lineup, Stavesacre has really done a fine job of putting together these different approaches. The Bull Takes Fighter EP is excellent, and I'm very impressed with the other new songs they've put up on their myspace.com site. I can't wait to hear the full-length.
