Free Fall
Power & Volume
Nuclear Blast
2013
Which are the two elementary music trends of our time? Well, on the one hand the reincarnation of 70s classic rock (NWOSCR) music and on the other the NWOTM (New Wave of Thrash Metal). Sweden bands are the major representatives on both trends. Free Fall belongs to the New Wave of (the) Seventies Classic Rock (NWOSCR) trend. As for the “freedom rock” music the band claims they play, it’s just bullshit… you can claim anything when you can’t be at least a bit original in what you do.
Ohh boy, oh boy. What’s the point in having bands that do not offer anything new and just recycle things some innovative artists/bands did 40 years ago? Are those classic albums extinct? Don’t you have ‘em? Bad for you! Go get ‘em… cuz’ if you do then you’ll have no excuse in listening second & third wannabe 70s rock bands like this one. The Who, The Stooges, Led Zeppelin, UFO, AC/DC, Nazareth, Sweet inter alia will cross your mind in the next 45 minutes while this album goes on.
I do not have anything against bands like Free Fall but if they do not personalize their musical approach then there’s no point in dealing with any of them. Why? As long as we have the prototype any kind of copycat, no matter how good they can be, will always be a mock. Sorry, but the excitement of listening an album goes away as long as something is just a plain mimic thing. If some of you can actually point out what’s the point in a music trend such as this, I’ll be glad to hear/read it. Regrettably, I can’t find any…
