I was never a huge fan of post-grunge band 10 Years. They had a massive hit in 2005 with \u201cWasteland\u201d and then seemingly disappeared, confined to the mainstream rock chart only. They had a great track with \u201cShoot It Out\u201d in 2010 and that was really all I cared for. Then this album dropped and I thought well, let\u2019s give it a listen. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n
The first single \u201cThe Shift\u201d is extremely catchy and notable and a great way to kick things off. But it\u2019s really \u201cD\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu\u201d that really showcases how good this band still is after all this time. Very heavy, loud, and extreme, it shows all the band\u2019s best sides and would be a great live number if we ever get to go to real shows again. Such a great song.<\/p>\n
Other tracks like \u201cCut The Cord\u201d and \u201cWaiting\u201d are a little lighter but are still really great and notable. This is a band I feel I slept on for far too long and need to do some catching up with. \u201cSleep In The Fire\u201d is a great showcase for frontman Jesse Hasek and gives the listener a chance to hear quite the underrated vocalist. \u201cStart Again,\u201d a more melodic track, gives more of the same for Hasek who really does sound great throughout the entire record.<\/p>\n
Leave out the two throwaway \u201cPlanets\u201d instrumentals and you have a brief, thirty-minute record but that\u2019s perfectly fine for a band like this. They know how to craft really great rock songs that don\u2019t sound bland like Shinedown or Death Punch, and that\u2019s quite a thing to accomplish in 2020. It\u2019s nice to have a more traditional sounding band like 10 Years still going relatively strong. This is definitely an album worth checking out if you miss what rock music used to sound like before it got all aggro and overemotional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":34206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[10591],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-46037","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-10-years","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46037"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46037"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
