Flashback CD Review #41 - Trigger Point - A Silent Protest
This review was written in 2005 for the Rock Is Life.com website.
Trigger Point
A Silent Protest
Corporate Punishment Records - 2005
http://www.triggerpointmusic.com
What's The 4-1-1?
The debut release from the hard rockers from Los Angeles features 13 tracks of their trademark hardcore sound.
Genre
Hard Rock / Heavy Metal / Hardcore
The Good
The 6th track on the CD is a very well put together piano instrumental track. Two other tracks ("The Color Of Real" and "Cycle") are halfway decent. The music on A Silent Protest is uniformly pretty good. The guitar work is excellent and the drumming is really quite top notich. It's a hard-edged foundation built on the power of the drumming.
The Bad
The problem with the album is that Trigger Point falls victim to the same thing that affects my opinion of the band Lamb of God. The music is great...and then the singer opens his mouth. Maybe its just that I'm falling victim to the "If its too loud, you're too old" philosophy, but the vocals are generally just a bunch of yelling and while there are moments where a lighter touch is used, they are few and far between.
The Verdict
Good music, but I do not like the vocals. Sorry, but there is nothing really here to recommend running out and buying this CD. Of course, I'm too old, what do I know?
Did You Know?
The band's full-length debu was produced and mixed by former Machine Head and Soulfly guitarist Logan Mader.

I don't understand what the attraction to terrible vocals is. Do you? I've just always preferred well executed vocals. I know I'm too old, but I've always felt that way.
Anyway, nothing here makes me wanna hear this band, however, they have a really cool band name.
