Second album of Khigh, an American combo created in 2002 by Kris (the guy behind everything in the band), Copylefted Rightovers is a new release of Californian Hard Rock. Really melodic and with Glam influences, this release proposes good tracks but suffers of a really average production too. With Copylefted Rightovers we can have the best like the worst and I will let you know why in this review.

Let's begin this review with the really positive points! Copylefted Rightovers is really melodic and reminds me the good old time when bands like Guns N Roses for example used to kick the ass of all the fans of Rock n Roll. Kris manages to re-create the universe of the end of the 80's on this album and that's really cool. Also, even if the songs aren't so outstanding, they all have good melodies and excellent technical guitars soli. This is pleasant if you like Glam Rock and music a la Ozzy Osbourne! On the other hand and despite some good choruses and melodies, Copylefted Rightovers is a bit monotonous and lacks of real hits. I mean that ok it can be good but we've heard it all before if you see what I mean and unfortunately the compositor didn't find the way to be surprising and to find THE ultimate riffs. This is good Hard but really classic unfortunately?

Also the production of the release is really average. The sound is not clean and weak in general. It's always a matter of financial means, I know, but some self-released albums all made at home can have perfect sound so it's not really possible to avoid this criticism. With a better mixing, Copylefted Rightovers could be a lot more convincing, really?

In the end, Copylefted Rightovers cannot be considerate as a bad album but it's just too average to be convincing. I didn't pass a bad moment when I listened to the album but I never said to myself "wow this song rocks!". You see what I mean, you'll not be disgusted by Copylefted Rightovers but I doubt that you'll have a revelatio. With time and work, Khigh will maybe become a lot more attractive, time will tell but the potential is here so?
