CD Reviews

I was expecting the second coming of Vixen but...

"The Good

You certainly can't deny that the group is all about empowerment on the opening track "Pride"; a blend of acoustic chords and electric solos. The layered vocal harmonies are nearly flawless. The acoustic heavy ballad "Blue" has a spiritual feel to it, which may have something to do with the angelic vocal delivery. The spiritualism continues on "Dream", only this time it's on the other side. Although it contains a funky bassline and ample riffs, the track is softened by warm keyboard tones. "Who Am I" is about acceptance, as the vocalist makes it clear that you need to take her or leave her the way she is. Her delivery is full of both power and emotion. The bluesy solo section is quite moving too.



I have to agree with the lyrics of the bluesy ditty "Whiskey"; love is like whiskey, sometimes it goes down easy, sometimes it burns. "Live Without Love" is about a jaded lover that is trying to get her emotions over with the help of fuzzy riffs and pounding drums. Drawing Down the Moon cover some really deep and heavy topics on a couple of tracks. "Sister" is about how a confidant stands by her friend after she had her innocence taken by a deplorable excuse of man; a very commanding performance. "Told Me So" may have a think bassline and plenty of tuneful guitar licks, but it tells the tale of an unfaithful husband from the point of view of the other woman.



The Bad

Nothing



The Verdict

I'll admit it, I was expecting the second coming of Vixen, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. Drawing Down the Moon are strong woman expressing their feelings about deep and heavy subjects, while at the same time setting it to accomplished, pleasing, and well written music.
