CD Reviews

Best of the genre.

"It would be easy to do as others seem content to do and lump Course of Nature in with all the other radio-friendly, easily accessible modern rock bands flooding the airwaves these days. You know - Daughtry, Nickelback, Creed, Three Doors Down, etc. And it wouldn't be entirely inaccurate to make that sort of comparison. Damaged is, afterall, a very listenable rock album. What sets them apart from the pack though, is that they are the under-appreciated masters of this genre. They've demonstrated that on this album! Where the other guys might go for a smooth, conventional song structure and sound Course of Nature are unafraid to substitute faster (dare I say punk?) riffs and in many places stattaco rhythms reminiscent of Helmet. Track 3, "Time is Slipping Away" is an excellent example of this and is one of the stand-out tracks on the album. In some respects this album reminds me of Gavin Rossdale's Institute - strong punk/hardcore influences but masked with a slick production. The difference here is that Course of Nature have got it *just* right - struck the perfect balance between being radio worthy and serious, intense rock. If nothing else, at least check these guys out. While I can't promise they'll be your new favorite band, they'll certainly help block out those other lousy bands they're associated with. And be sure to check out their video for the lead track, Anger Cage which is directed by and stars lead singer Mark Wilkerson's wife Melissa Joan Hart."
Expect more after 6 years...

"After 6 years I couldn't believe they only had 10 songs in 38 minutes in them. I also feel they lost the edge they had over the Puddle Of Fuel groups out there. The CD just sounds very generic to me, not the fresh new sound they had with Superkala. But it's good to see them back, hopefully they'll put more thought into their next CD and won't wait 6 years to do it."
After 6 years they are back!

"In 2002 Course of Nature released their first album and due to the single Caught In The Sun, the record was quite popular for a while. Then CON disappeared from the Music scene for nearly 5 years. I have to say it might have been worth it due to how good this album really is.

Many of you have probably heard the first single off this album Anger Cage. If not, it is a fantastic song and it's a great way to open the album. Throughout the whole album there are fantastic melodies and riffs that any fan of good rock music will love.

This album is easily good enough to listen all the way through without having to skip one song. There are two slower songs and the rest are pretty much fast paced.

Here are my favorite tracks:

1.Time In Slipping Away

2.Anger Cage

3.The Window

4.Memory Of You

5.World At War

The rest of the tracks are nearly as strong so don't let this review make you think this is all the record has to offer. Pick this up if you liked their previous music. Also if you are a fan of Daughtry, Breaking Benjamin, or Nickelback you'll probably love these guys."
