Posted: 9/14/2005A review of Venting by Davedood
Simply brilliant! The CD starts out with the emotional yet awesome "The Gift". "The Gift" is a song that captures Five.Bolt.Main's ability to work together as a group to produce a finished sound that truly delivers. Next comes "Pathetic", the first single off the CD. Pathetic is a good, heavy song with a tribal-style breakdown containing lines of wisdom. The song following "Pathetic" is "Wait In Line" which is perhaps the worst song on the CD. It is still, however, a better song than most of modern music. The following song is "Broken Compass" an incredibly catchy and powerful ballad you will not be able to get out of your head, nor want to. The next song is "What You Are". The highlight is the opening guitar riff and blisteringly heavy screaming. That is followed up by "Slip", one of my personal favorites. "Slip" is a well rounded song, with the finishing breakdown being one of the best pieces of any song ever written. Next comes "Breathing" which needs to be heard to be fully understood. "Seem To Be FIne" is a ballad, perhaps the best one ever written. It contains an incredibly positive message and is perfect the whole way through. "Life Of Mine" is a great metal song with a catchy chorus and some nice musical risks. "Descending" is a song for fans of Tool with a great bass line and a good focus on vocals. However, the song is rather strange and unconventional and sometimes difficult to listen to. "Made Like This" is a song for drummers and again, lyrically delivers. Finally, "Bid Farewell" features some amazing vocals and a great guitar line. All in all, this is an amazing CD. So much more than you average aggro-metal band. With everything nowadays being blatantly heavy with a lack of meaning, Venting truly delivers. Get it!
