Killing songs: <i>Groove Science, The Creep</i>
Absolutely nothing new from Anvil. And when I say absolutely nothing, I am wondering if this Plenty Of Power (no comment) is not in fact a collection of songs not used previously ... from old recording sessions. Speed Of Sound (previous album) was at least catchy and the songs were pretty good. Here, all songs &quot;looks&quot; so old and ... empty of inspiration. Honestly, I am wondering if these guys have recorded Plenty Of Power with their heart ... or just for money. Groove Silence &amp; The Creep (second &amp; forth song) are may be the only songs saving the whole record (in direct line with Speed Of Sound) and I prefer not to talk about the cover-art (my two year son would have done a better one). And as everything has been done the correct way on Plenty Of Power, the production is a big JOKE. Eh guys, we are in 2001 not in the 80's anymore. So the &quot;wind&quot; coming out of my speaker is an insult to all metal kids out there. This album is getting on my nerves. I like too much Anvil and was maybe expecting miracles with this Plenty Of Power. For the die-hard Anvil's fans, but let me doubt it. An average record from a band that can do much better ... can't they?
