Well....for sure it is a Sentenced album...and that's also perhaps
why I think some people could be a bit disappointed with it. Don't
misunderstand me, if you've liked the band's last pieces, you're gonna
love "Crimson", even if it certainly lacks originality. Somehow it's
always the same songs, over and over. The band tried some vocal effects
on some tracks in order to change things, but I must admit the result
isn't that convincing, at least not on all tracks. Another personal
point : I love Sentenced (last 3 albums) and I'm not unhappy that
"Crimson" sounds a lot like "Down" or "Frozen". A long time ago I've
discovered a band called Running Wild and loved the album I've bought
that day (Black Hand Inn). Somehow after listening to all of their
followings albums, I found out that it was always the same sound.
OK, but Running Wild would not be what they are today if they haven't
created their own style. The same rule is happening here with Sentenced,
even if we can easily find some Rage or Metallica inspiration from
their style, but they're somehow creating their own. So to conclude
this review, if you like Sentenced, and if you're not looking for
a brand new sound or direction for the band, you'll like "Crimson"
very much.
