Earthtone9 was originally
formed back in 1996 in Nottingham, England, and the band was named from an
opening line of a Helmet song called "The Meantime". The band also owe a lot
of their musical influences to bands like Helmet, Tool and Deftones. They have
been given a lot of attention in the press since they started out and Kerrang
Magazine held them as one of the best newcomers on the British hard music
scene but in April 2002 the band still decided to call it quits. This album
can be seen as a farewell present to the fans and it contains four studio
tracks plus a live version of their "Binary 101" song which was recorded at
the Mean Fiddler in London. No matter what Kerrang says about this band I
would be lying if I told you that I find this to be a masterpiece musically.
This is not a bad band at all - they all know their instruments very well and
the music is enjoyable but just like the case is with Deftones and Tool their
music gets slightly boring at times. There are moments where these guys rock
though such as the wonderful riffs at the end of "Revelation". The opener
"Amnesia" is also a pretty good song. This mini album also contains two
videos of "Amnesia" and "Tat Twam Asi" (what does that mean?). All in all
this is something only for old fans of the band. If you are still new to
Earthtone9 you might want to check out their full-length albums before
purchasing this one. A little uneven but still a decent
album.
