In some ways Joetown is how I always wanted Black Label Society
to sound. Yes, I said it, but I really like the crisper and
more arena sound of Joetown. Ok, maybe the songs aren't as strong
as BLS, but they're on the right track. The music is really
an updated Classic Rock if that makes any sense. The use more
effects and some modern elements, but the overall style if taken
from the classics. Joetown has a lot of good ideas too, sometimes
they work like "Crash" and "My Anger Knows No
Bounds", but sometimes they get mired in medium paced tunes
that drag on a bit. Overall though they are very refreshing,
talented and I am really looking forward to hearing what they
do next, and in this oversaturated music world, that's all you
can ask for anymore!
