16 (Sixteen) is angry, pissed off and drunk. They're American, released albums with titles such as Drop Out and songs with titles as 'Skin & Bones' and 'So Broken Down'. So what does that tell us? Sludge. Sludge bloody sludge. Bridges To Burn is their umpteenth release and the first in six years. It comprises twelve medium to fast-paced tracks spanning over three quarters, filled with vicious and ferocious yelling, rough riffs and a rhythm section that could very well be the soundtrack of any vicious beating. It's also a bit standard, without any adventurous ideas. You could argue that all exotic excursions would diminish their the strength of their bleak message and you would be perfectly right. Still, music is more than a message and in the case of 16 the music falls short after half an hour or so. Too bad for them. It would have been better if they'd have cut a song or two or turned this into an EP only. Read more ›› |
