The cover of this disc depicts a guy whose mouth is closed with grey tape. When I opened the box and took the CD out of it, I saw the same tape underneath it. But, do not fear, the band's not silenced for good because there are still sounds and vocals on the album. Crushead is a German quintet playing what might be described as rap 'n roll. They themselves describe it as crunch 'n roll. You can hear groovy rock music, often with rapping in the verses and singing in the choruses. Some of the riffs lean over to metal, like in Glorify. Most of this material is midtempo. There are a few lighter cuts like the beautiful Last Chapter Ending. The CD ends with a relaxed breakbeat remix of Reason To Jump. The Christian stance of Crushead becomes evident in most of the songs. Fortunately, the quality of this disc is pretty good which makes it an album that's pleasant to listen to: It rocks and has variety. Some stuff has a catchiness I like about this band. So, quite a pleasant surprise from Germany.
