DRIFTING SUN

I didn't expect much when I saw all the ratings for this Drifting Sun debut, but honestly, it still ended up a little better than I expected. The first thing to note is that it definitely had a big problem throughout: the instruments don't seem to match. The synths themselves feel prehistoric, like late-70's to early 80's, and they don't mix well with the modern instruments. This adds an extra layer of cheesiness to the lyrics, which go for poetry but feel a little kiddy. Having said all that, they're obviously trying hard to get out some great melodies, and most of them work on that factor alone. I eventually found myself getting used to the dated synths as the instruments started to balance out a little more, although the other flaws were still present. It's extremely obvious that Drifting Sun had some major fleshing out to do before calling themselves a good band, but despite the cheese, there's real potential here. Just switch a couple instruments and write more mature lyrics, and they're good to go.
