After two and a half years writing and recording together, legendary rockers Finger Eleven are back on the scene, ready to release their sixth studio album, (the first in the last five years). The album, titled "Five Crooked Lines", features a excellent blend of the band's many genre infusing performances and kick-ass vocals. This piece of work promises to be not only one of the best albums the band has produced, but one of the most anticipated albums of the summer!
The band's creative direction is clearly seen in this album. While the previous two CD's featured a lot of use of the studio, featuring hundreds of different tracks on each song, this album feels like a more powerful and intimate experience. Pop this CD in and you'll feel like your in a live show, watching the band rock out as the people around you jump into the air. The Canadian born rockers showcase the intensity and passion in their music, from their hit new single "Wolves and Doors" to a beautiful seven minute song called "Come On, Oblivion", which seems reminescent of a classic The Verve sound. It takes us back to the days of classic rock also,
when bands didn't shy away from stepping out of their comfort zone and would keep working on a song regardless of length or "radio friendliness."
Recorded in just 11 days, "Five Crooked Lines" is a true work of art in the industry. This personal music experience is unlike anything else out on the charts currently. With a release date of July 31st, 2015, we here at On Request Magazine highly reccommend purchasing this album. It's face-melting hard rock sound mixes smoothly with the rich vocals and soft melodies of some classic rock and even bluesy pop sounds, and fans not only of Finger Eleven but of great rock music will not want to miss out on this record! Pick up your copy on July 31st, 2015!
