SiX - Between the Warning and the War

(c) 2008 1605 Records

So I've been having an overall lack of creativity as it pertains to writing lately.  This new record by SIX hasn't helped.  I'm torn.  It has the goods;  It is fierce and aggressive.  The riffs rule.  The vocals don't suck razorblades.  So then why am I uncertain about how much I do or don't enjoy it?  I don't really know.  I'm gonna go out on a limb before my coffee kicks in and say that I do in fact like the disc.  After all it gets a ringing endorsement and even a guest spot from Mike Clark on track 4 "Forgiveness" and features Franki Doll on track 5 "Perfect Life".

I guess the trepidation comes in on more of a personal level.  I just don't get into the metal like I once did.  But by way of an endorsement of my own, if anything were going to pull me back over to the metal side, it would be this.

Between the Warning and the War nearly rekindles the spirit of old Prong for me except with a Left Coast feel. That is certainly something in the background that draws me to this disc.  I guess all the vascillating aside, SIX busts with some dark aggressive music in a unique but decidedly metal vein. The more I listen to it, the more I warm to it.  So this one is up in the air but I think it'll land heads up.
