Unfortunately, this is much more akin to Inwire than their excellent debut.

Maybe it's a grower...

Hmmm, I don't actually mind all three of those tunes. The first being the best. 

It probably does have more in common with 'Inwire,' but mostly just in that it's a very modern sound. The main difference, though, is these songs are kinda cool, with big obvious choruses. They're not grungy boring rubbish. I can seriously not actually listen to that album. One of the few (Wildside, 'Shadowlife' etc.) that were so bad I actually couldn't even listen to properly. 

Anyway, I kinda dig what they're doing. Yes, I'd definitely prefer a return to the debut sound... but it's not all bad.

Not bad but not that great either. Somewhere in between.

It’s ok but it sounds like music from between 1997-2002.

I like that era for rock music, but in a world of Spotify and YouTube...it's gotta be really good to stack up to the stuff that's stuck around for the last 20 years...

Just listening to this now. It's actually pretty good. Not much resemblance to the debut, but it reminds me of Slik Toxik's Irrelevant: heavy as fuck, and nothing like the first album, but still really good.

I like it - Nothing spectacular but it’s a damn sight better than I thought it would be. Cool modern vibe.

Sven Gali, this is 2000's Portland Oregon band Slowrush calling, please give our sound back, we didn't authorize its use. We also released a longer full length in 1999 under the moniker Generator, so. Thanks, bye.

For some reason, I don't think I followed up on this in 2020, but heard it today properly. Not a bad EP at all, and this tune was my favourite. Cool track with some nice riffage. I still echo what I said above... not bad.
