FEAD
"Nameless"
(Pacific West; 2004)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Fead is a power trio from Michigan whose six-track release sounds remarkably ... unremarkable. There's nothing here that you couldn't find in a high school battle of the bands, including the uneven recording and generic lyrics.
While the band is heavy, it's in a very banal kind of way, almost just for the sake of being heavy. Fead don't give the listener anything they haven't heard a gazillion times before; instead, they give them something they don't want at all.
Maybe some life experiences, coupled with the purchase of a thesaurus, may help Fead, but from this viewpoint, it doesn't look good.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
