When I first leant that Bohica was from England, I almost knew what to expect, Nu-Metal, what else, except some NWoBHM and some Doom is released from England today?
It's sad, since there are so many talented musicians, but to many of them gets stuck in Pop (Pop and Nu-Metal).
But I just had to listen to them now, just because of their name, Bohica, how cool isn't that?

Unfortunately wasn't the music good, it's just simple, radio influenced Nu-Metal (Alternative, Modern, chose which one you want), with the usual clean vocals, very poppy Nu-Metal.
The album, the debut actually, starts with "Fragments" a pretty decent pop-song, with some riffing, but very bright and a screamy (almost rapping) clear vocalist. It's not good, but it's not worst then anything else either.
That's the way the album rolls on, and before you reached half the album you'll be so bored that you won't even notice the music.

But if we shall look out of the bands point of view, I think they are a bit too late to strike really big, this kind of music has been around way too long for an album like this to strike.
There are actually nothing wrong with the band, they are talented, they have written good song, they mastering their instruments well and the singer is pretty decent, but in the end it is just so unoriginal, we heard everything a thousand times before.

Sorry guys, you need to come up with something new and revolutionary to get any fame today, and Nu-Metal are neither new nor revolutionary. I think a "better luck next time" sounds rough, but it's true in this case.

Check Out: Anyone or anything, for die-hard Pop (Nu-Metal) fans only.
