Album Review: The Hazy Chains - Orb

StarStarHalf Star

"You will never be so bored in your life listening to pop rock conventions that weren’t even original in 2001."

Built on trendy press release adjectives such as ‘ethereal’ and a bedrock of collaborations with such notable industry peeps as Bryce Moorhead (production for Violent Soho) and Adrian Fitipaldes (ex-Northlane), these facets are just a flimsy façade for The Hazy Chains.

You will never be so bored in your life listening to pop rock conventions that weren’t even original in 2001. It’s unfortunate when your publicist describes said load of bollocks as an ‘uplifting yet grounded masterpiece.’ You’ve heard it all before. They’re the less attractive sister of Tonight Alive.
