Track By Track Review: Majority of one.
Contrasts
The super crunchy riff
cuts into the track and weaves its way in and out throughout this superb opener. Catchy chorus and aggressive intense vocals
from Nic Whitmore very strong opening track.
Hourglass
Another powerful follow up Hourglass is a mix of aggressive/clean
vocals, chock full of melody and grinding, heavy parts. Definitely one of the major highlights of the album
Signature
Possibly the best track on offer here another blisteringly
heavy, crunchy riff, followed by one of the most intense bridges on the whole album, leading to another strong melodic chorus.
Becoming
The
pace doesnt slow down one bit, as Becoming builds up within the upcoming twenty seconds, till it bursts forward with its explosive,
heavier than heavy riff and super-catchy chorus. Mark this one down as another single.
Not Me
Although the piledriving riff on this track is most welcome,
Not Me fails to end up as strong as the former four tracks, not really going in any particular direction.
Inside
I Divide
Brilliant
track with an almost industrial vibe lining the work. Warm, melodic verse, leading up to the almost Fear Factory-esque brutality
of the chorus.
Revert To Type
Another superb riff here, only let down by the average chorus.
Insert
One of the strangest tracks on the album, Inside is a
simple, moody, melodic instrumental track pause for quiet contemplation.
This Time Around
Kickstart the brutality again with This Time Around were
straight in there with one of the most forceful tracks on the album, once again re-visiting the Life Is Peachy vibe but with
something a little extra. Very strong track.
Bitter Pill
One of the more brooding tracks on the album, yet faithful in delivering
us another catchy chorus.
The Clique
Supecharged, riff-heavy track that could easily sit on anything Slipknot have worked on nothing
melodic here, just pure aggression. Quality, heads down material.
A Moment
Without a doubt, the most melodic track on the entire album. Number
One Son ease back for just under two minutes and let the album fade away gently.
Final Verdict:
Majority
Of One is an excellent record and a clear indication of where the British metal scene is heading - and its completely in the
right direction. With just enough depth and determination and more balls than the average nu-metal band Number One son are
threatening to spark off the revolution. Should we let them? Yeah, why not!
