The Green, who have appeared on the ScreamTracks Volume I
compilation (released by Creed singer Scott Stapp's
clothing line) as well as the Playstation/Xbox "Transworld
Snowboarding" video game soundtrack, have high hopes for their
music. And why shouldn't they? They've got an energetic,
radio-friendly sound that provides the ideal backdrop to moshing,
parties, snowboarding, and just having fun. While a lack of
originality and variety is apparent on this EP, criticizing it for
that fact does no good.
You see, this music wasn't made to be deep, sophisticated, or
"art"-y. This was made to be taken for its superficial
value - power guitars, yelled vocals, and catchy, familiar
melodies. The vocals are all that macho, on-a-mission style
dreck, but that isn't a problem. There's no use mentioning any
particular tracks, because all five songs on this disc sound exactly the
same. I think you've got the point now.
If you're young and looking for some party music - something that's
fun, but that that you don't really have to think about - then check
out Brush The Green's debut EP. In fact, you can have the
band mail you a try-before-you-buy copy at www.brushthegreen.com
for free, and you only have to pay for it if you like it. But
don't expect high art.
