8Forty8 - 8Forty8-Edge Of Time (Hot Metal Magazine)

23 Dec 2004 // A review by gatman

This is exellent. Intended more as a release than a demo. This group from New Zealand have an absolutely huge tape on their hands here.
Liberal doses of the best of everything. In other words, virtuos musicianship, polished production, catchy choruses, the whole damn nine. The twelve songs on this album cover the field from big, ballsy stadium rockers to radio friendly, balladic tear jerkers. It allows the band to use their whole song list to snare you in and carry you along across, the full width of this band's musical menu. an outstanding piece of work.
