Oddman
It all Starts Here

Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
Chico's heaviest and hardest working hard rock band, Oddman, drops their second
full-length CD this week, and its 12 huge hard rock tracks are enough to shake
the fillings out of your teeth. The vibe on It All Starts Here runs from
poignant vilification of nemeses to self-reflective confusion to outright pissed-off
aggression. "Rock Star" kicks a quick, deep and bottom-heavy groove;
"From Duality" is a slowly bone-crushing and oddly melodic tune; and
the album's title track is thick, with a catchy, rhythmic gate. What shines
through most, though, is the band's determination - not just as songwriters
and hard working musicians (this is the second CD Oddman has put out in as many
years) but also as a force of growth. Not only is Oddman angling for a shot
at a bigger life than Chico, but their music is becoming a bit more dynamic.
It could stand to delve a little deeper into the nuances of songwriting, but
It All Starts Here is a great sophomore effort from a band whose growth
is obviously just beginning.
