A band with the name
Stereotypical Working Class doesn't really spark the interest in me and I did
not expect much from this release when I first sat down to listen to it. I
usually try to begin listening to an album with an open mind and no
expectations at all but I don't always succeed in doing this. However, I was
partly right this time. Hailing from the Lyon area in France, these guys are
one of the first signings to the newly formed label Boycott Records whose
owners Next Music probably believes firmly in this band. Stereotypical Working
Class is pretty much a family affair since the band consists of both brothers
and cousins who have been playing together since the foundation of the band in
1999. This is nu-metal with some hardcore influences and not really that
originaly except maybe for the use of French lyrics. Heavy straightforward
guitar riffs and a good deal of melancholy in the vocal department is what
characterizes this disc. Kind of a mix of Korn, System Of A Down and Deftones
but still it doesn't sound like either of these bands. Unfortunately there
are no songs that really stick to my collection of memories and the cd comes
off as rather grey and uninteresting. The music is well played though and
could be of interest to those of you who are big fans of nu-metal in
general.
