CoC : Lucid - Lucid : Review

Lucid - _Lucid_
(Independent, 1998)
by: Alex Cantwell (6.5 out of 10)

This music reminds me of Leaderdogs for the Blind and newer Moshketeers, with a bit of Machine Head thrown in. Basically, this is well done modern metal, which is great, but listening to all twelve tracks in one sitting might be considered too much of a good thing. It's like being beaten twelve times in a row. Most of these songs are strong enough to stand on their own. This is plain and simple aggressive music that will send ya a-thrashin' around yer room. The drums are triggered, and so they almost sound like a drum machine, but that actually gives the music a slight industrial tinge, which works for them.
