The story behind the four men in Room 212 is touching, and inspiring enough, but these men should not sing about it. Three out of the eleven songs are either the same songs, or sound too similar to differentiate between them all.
Appreciating their American Native background, it was refreshing to hear their first song start out, but the monotony halfway through was enough to provoke someone to pound their head against a brick wall. Rapping is one of their styles as well, but again, not a talent, and singing is basically non-existent, and is replaced by a sing-song type of barking.
The vocalist has a hard time staying on the main beat, and it's extremely difficult to understand anything their songs have to say at all. They also tried their hand at metal. Their lead vocalist sounds like he is trying to imitate Brian Johnson of AC/DC. It sounds like he's about to vomit and doesn't pull off a sound that is even remotely palatable. The "metal" music is very bland, and their timing gets thrown off quite often. The electronics are extremely chintzy, although the guitarist is at least decent to listen to. Their song "Pour Your Blood on Me" starts off sounding really enjoyable, and would actually be a good song to listen to, sans the lead vocalist. Even the back up vocals sound pretty good. It's the lead vocals that truly ruin the song.
It may seem harsh, but all in all, these boys need to keep their day jobs.
