Seatlle’s Fall From Grace are four dudes who have already had their share of problems in their personal lives. One of them was homeless while another one almost died in an accident. They all overcame their problems, started a band and now sing about the events that took place in the past. Talk about music being cathartic!
Musically “Sifting Through The Wreckage” is punky hardrock, not too different from what Papa Roach dished out on their last album. With Terry Date (Deftones, Soundgarden) in the producer chair, a crystalclear sound is pretty much a given. When cruising in the fast lane (opener “Hated Youth”), Fall From Grace is definitely worth your time but it’s during the slower songs that they lose me with the back-to-back ballads in the form of “This Sickness” and “I Can’t Win” as the biggest no no about this album. Luckily they go out on a high note with a cover of The Ramones’ “Pet Sematary”.
They could use a couple more memorable hooks and fewer ballads but all in all “Sifting Through The Wreckage” is a decent debut from a band we might hear more from in the future.
Score: 6 out of 10
