THICKER THAN WATER
"Demo 2001" (Strictly Heavy Management; 2001)
Reviewed by Rose Grech
Thicker Than Water (TTW) has gained a great deal of
recognition in their hometown Virginia and surrounding area. Their catchy yet
relentless beats and coherent lyrics will draw listeners and keep some
satisfied. However, their Southern style, specifically the vocals, is one
component that outsiders might have trouble adapting to.
TTW has experience, passion and encouragement. They are not following the
trend craze, like most new bands of today, by mixing techno, rap, hard-core and
any other musical elements all in one. For that I thank them.
Instead they focus on one style. They are not trying to make everyone
happy so they can sell millions of records. To compare their sound to
another band, their overall tone slightly resembles Clutch.

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.
