Here’s a Chicago quartet that has taken cues from all the big alternative rock stories from the last couple of years and molded them into ten energetic and catchy songs. Listening to “Red Right Return” you’ll hear 30 Seconds To Mars, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin and there’s even a little Deftones creeping around in there.
It all sounds extremely smooth with a nicely polished nu metal sheen over it and a couple of electronic sounds blend in nicely as well. Vocalist David Scotney has the right kind of voice for this kinda thing as well, sounding both plaignant and powerful at the same time.
I can’t really say anything bad about Janus’ debut album but I can’t help but not get excited over it either. It all sounds a little too much like what I’ve heard a couple of years ago from the abovementioned bands and even the songs on “Red Right Return” themselves are kind of interchangeable.
Score: 6 out of 10
