Review of "Oxygen"
|
By: Mark Waterbury
ochester, NY's Michael Staertow's solo album is a rather unique hybrid of melodic metal of the 80's vein and modern heavy alt rock. Soaring vocal work, bearing a passing resemblance to Joe Elliott, are perfectly combined with his fiery guitar riffs and grungy rhythms. The thundering lead track "Wastin' My Life Away" has a deliciously harmonic chorus, and "Elephant" has a slightly punk flavor. A versatile guitarist and stellar vocalist, Michael's songwriting finds a solid niche that many types of rockers should enjoy.
