Description
Initial pressings of FINGER ELEVEN contain a bonus DVD.
Finger Eleven: Scott Anderson (vocals); James Black, Rick Jackett (guitar); Sean Anderson (bass); Rich Baddoe (drums).
Recorded at Groovemaster Recording, Chicago, Illinois; The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California.
It's not too surprising that Ontario, Canada band Finger Eleven would wind up on Wind-Up Records. With their driving guitars and brooding vocals, they definitely seem like kin with labelmates Creed, Boy Sets Fire, Drowning Pool, 12 Stones, et al. What is fairly surprising is that with their remarkable knack for hooks, their first two albums, THE GREYEST OF BLUE SKIES and TIP, weren't more widely heard. However, that changed with this relentless, infectious, and eponymous record.
The opening single, the ironically titled "Good Times," layers guitar over tribal drums, as hyper-insistent vocals assert themselves in a fierce chant before breaking into an undeniable and melodic chorus. It shifts from segment to segment, even drifting into prog-metal. Throughout this album, Finger Eleven cleverly digs into '70s rock, while referencing more contemporaneous hard rockers like Tool, and throwing in ample hooks.
