Description:

This is Serial Joe's second cd their first cd is called Kicked. Kicked featured the hit singles Skidrow and Obsession. The singer in Serial Joe is in fact the kid in the Our Lady Peace video for the song Superman's Dead. I don't really know where to start with this cd, I didn't find anything about this cd entertaining. These guys are either trying to be Rage Against The Machine, Silverchair, Korn or the singer is trying to be british (listen to Mistake for the British Accent). The cd has had two singles Mistake and Deep. I think the fact that these guys started so young is the reason why this cd isn't any good. I think all the members of the band are 14 and 15. Maybe if they waited a couple of years I consider them such a joke, I laugh everytime I hear the name Serial Joe. The only thing solid about this cd is the drummer, he is the only musician half decent out of these four guys. The guitarist plays a really embaressing solo in the instrumental song Dragon On My Shoulder. I apologize if I said things that made people mad but I really didn't like this cd or this band.
