Except perhaps for Crush released in 2000, few albums really succeeded in catching the attention of critics. Despite everything, the group continued to sell millions of albums and to fill arenas on tour (with concerts based on their material of the Eighties of course). The coming of Lost Highway thus left me rather indifferent and this is why I awaited a hollow in the release of major albums to write some lines about it. At first, this new record can seem adventurous whereas the group makes a crossing between its usual hard rock style and contemporary country music. It’s an interesting mixture which makes the group progress in a beautiful way. On the other hand, the band remains to its best when it presents catchy pop melodies like it’s the case for the title-song, the ballad “(You Want To) Make A Memory” and “Whole Lot Of Leavin'”.

We could even say inside the same song because some have a similar structure. They begin all in softness, so much we have to open up the volume to make sure we don’t miss anything, and then they break out completely to become particularly heavy with a loud guitar. There are some exceptions as the excellent acoustic song “Stranger Things Have Happened”. I also like “Erase/Replace” and the good melodies of “Long Road To Ruin” and “Summer's End”. Instrumental “Balad of the Beaconsfield Miners” doesn’t have anything exceptionally good, if it’s not the fact it presents a side we didn’t know about the Foo Fighters. The rock tracks are generally too straight, well far from the energetic grunge of their debut.

Featured Review: Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold After the City Of Evil album which brought them at the stardom level, the guys of Avenged Sevenfold were very excited to go back into the studio to record a new album. They were locked up by themselves in the studio to work on a record which would serve “to blast some heavy shit out the window” for their young fans. So, we discover now this very simple eponymous album which wants to be a return to the basis of metal with many winks at the Eighties, while preserving their unique rhythm section and their solos in the Yngwie Malmsteen style. After the excellent “Critical Acclaim” and “Almost Easy” which start strongly the CD, we lose certain metal elements which made them so unique on their previous 1 of 10 1/8/2008 9:26 AM Music reviews http://www.musicomania.ca/en/music_reviews.htm#Elvis%20Presley album. Some tracks, too much polished, rather bring us in a common pop rock sound. The occasional inclusion of violin, piano, brass and even of a children’s choir (on “Unbound (The Wild Ride)”) can give the impression of a richer sound, but it has the opposite effect whereas one feels a discordance with the base of their style.
