Wicked Wisdom needing a little more wisdom from a better pro

"I was surprised to hear that Jada Pinkett Smith was in a metal band. I thought to myself wow pretty cool. So some time ago I heard this CD I was somewhat impressed but still I feel it fell short. The band has a lot of potential with the right producer, someone like Bob Rock..(Metallica, Motley Crue) Songs like "Bleed all over me" have a Lacuna Coil type sound to them. While others are reminiscent of the now deflated "Rap Metal" or "Nu Metal" scene. Jada has the potential to be a better singer than what she has delivered, she needs to really push her boundaries. From what I hear on this CD she doesn't really push her vocal ability much and I mean by singing not growling or screaming. This band can do so much more with the right producer bringing out that heavy sound a la Sevendust. Keep an eye out for Wicked Wisdom cause I am sure we haven't heard the last of this band..with tons of potential. I gave them two stars cause I believe they could have done a whole lot better. That's my opinion. Thanks."

"Rapping, singing, screaming, actress Jada Pinkette Smith (yes, Hawthorne's star) delivers a shredding album. Wicked Wisdom combines merciless vocals, merciless guitars, abusive drums, and mind-burning lyrics to punch through any doubts you might have about the issues in the world around us. Unusual, a little intimidating, but overall a good album."
