Review of "Nights Like These "The Faithless" (Victory Records - 2007)" Done by Natalie
The first thing that came to mind upon reviewing the titles of the songs that Nights Like These had to offer was that they were yet another hardcore band, chasing the dream of "making it". But the moment the actual album, "The Faithless", started playing, I wasn't sure what to make of my intial assumption. I heard metal, & not decent metal.

As a whole, I have found it rather hard to say a whole lot of good about this band. The lack of rhythm & unintelligible lyrics made this CD a tough pill to swallow. One song blends into another, leaving you wondering when the last song ended & the next song began. It proves to be more frustrating than entertaining.

The one positive thing that I was able to pull from the attempts in this album was that the drummer has legitimate talent. The double bass drum, which is apparent in every song, was downright hellacious. And I don't think that it would sound too far-fetched to say that this may very well be the backbone of the group.

Overall, I felt a lack of growing room with this band. There may not be a follow-up album, but I don't think that would surprise most anyone.

9.5/10
