FOREVER & A DAY

Independent rock is an avenue for two sorts: D.I.Y. enthusiasts who would rather avoid the music industry and their money-making tactics and bands who simply do not possess the talent to appeal to a larger audience on a national level. While Forever and a Day isn't completely devoid of talent, there are few reasons as to why its 2000 effort, The Art of Creation, was overlooked. The music is mundane and the vocals presented here have a tone that at first sounds unique, yet quickly turns to grating and obnoxious. "Breathe" and "Hands Down" start the album quite well with steady song structures and compelling hooks, and then the album goes downhill rapidly. With some work, Forever and a Day could have become something of an underground gem, but the group never figured out its mistakes, and as a result disappeared shortly after it emerged on the scene. ~ Jason D.
