The intro to the first song, "This is the Night", totally rocks. A little bit of glam guitar starts this one out right. But then the vocals kick in. I thought Johnny Rotten was singing for this band. Nothing original at all in the vocals. Maybe I'm just not a fan of Sex Pistols sounding vocals, and I suppose thats what kind of brought this one down for me.
Definitely the best part of this release is the guitars, they totally rock. This band would probably be really fun to see live, although for those of us in the United States that might not be for a while being this band is from Norway.
With this mix of rock n roll, glam rock, Sex Pistol's punk rock, Deadlines darkness ("maybe I would die to keep the blood, but I would rather die than lose the blood") and gang vocal Sunday School lyrics ("to live is Christ to die is me!, wo wo!) Silver brings us an album that has promise, but just doesn't fully deliver. Again don't get me wrong here, the guitar work and drumming is great, actually some of the best glam sounding guitar solo's I have heard in quite some time.
