Chronic Future – Lines In My Face

I’ve had this album for a couple weeks now and I’ve been trying to find ways to describe it. But all I found was a major case of writer’s block. After listening to Chronic Future‘s Lines In My Face countless times, I still have no idea what to say about it. All reviewers feel this way once in a while, and it sure does become a bit annoying.

Chronic Future is pretty much impossible to categorize. They are unlike any other band out there, merging the lines between alternative, rock, emo, and hip-hop. Each song is different from the other. It could be high energy one, to soft and slow the next. The vocals are a mix between fast, hip-hop genre vocals along with more rock or pop-punk like. Sometimes they are layered over one another, which makes for a nice sound and a slight change from the regular pattern of the song. All of this creates a nice diversity, but still doesn’t do anything to really push the songs. The melodies would be best described as slightly alternative, as they don’t really follow any form whatsoever. Even though they do so much, nothing really grabs you. The songs seem to drag on, especially the final track Say Good-bye, and, although there’s no way you can say it is repetitive, it seems to be a bit boring. There is an odd track here and there that stands out a bit, like Stop Pretending, Static On The Radio, and Time And Time Again.

Chronic Future‘s Liens In My Face is a mediocre album. Although they try a lot of new things on the CD, nothing is done extremely well. Its kind of boring as nothing really sticks out through out the entire CD.
