Next [PA] [Limited] by Sevendust
 

Next [PA] [Limited] by Sevendust

Initial pressings includes Limited Edition DVD. Sevendust: Lajon (vocals); John, Sonny (guitar); Vince (bass instrument); Morgan (drums). Alternative metal outfit Sevendust weathered the departure of their founding guitarist and a label change before releasing NEXT in 2005, but the changes haven't affected the band's take on hardcore riffage, thunderous rhythms, and alternately soulful and screamo vocals courtesy of frontman Lajon Witherspoon. Witherspoon, one of the group's most distinguishing features, can make his voice soar and slide, at times recalling Mike Patton, and then turn around to sound like the most ferocious of hardcore growlers. NEXT also broadens the band's stylistic palette by adding electronic balladry ("This Life") and the occasional surprisingly melodic chorus ("Desertion"), while never losing sight of the razory, metallic edge on which the group's sound is built.

Well, a hearty 'congratulations' must go out to the hard-rock band known as Sevendust. I mean, I don't know if any other album in recent years has perplexed me as much as their latest release, Next, has. Upon my first several listens to it, I was spellbound. "Wow, this is wonderful," I thought,... Read full review »

Pros A potent blend of Sevendust's strengths, well-produced with ear-grabbing tracks...
Cons Occasional no-brainers and lyrical fumbles
Recommended it? Yes

Guessing where Sevendust would head with their fifth album, Next, was no easy endeavor. Following Seasons, which softened the band's sound to the acclaim of everyone but their original fan base, any number of directions were possible -- from a watered-down quasi-metal effort (a la Staind) to a...

Pros some truly great tracks, Lajon's voice, some nice experimentation and maturing
Cons essentially a weaker retread of Animosity in many spots, Morgan's constant vocals
Recommended it? Yes

What does a band do when their last record showed they had evolved to the point of utter perfection? Furthermore, what does the same band do when one of their founding members and guitarists abandons ship to begin a new project, and, your longtime label, TVT drops you? The answer should be simple...
