Motor Sister \u2013 Ride<\/strong>
\n Release Date: March 10, 2015<\/strong>
\n Label: Metal Blade Records<\/strong><\/p>\n

The talk of the net these days in the metal world has been about this band called Motor Sister. This is somewhat of a super group, if you will, featuring Scott Ian of Anthrax, his wife Pearl (Meatloaf\u2019s kid), drummer John Tempesta (who\u2019s played with everyone), Armored Saint\/Fates Warning bassist Joey Vera, and lead by former Mother Superior singer\/guitarist Jim Wilson. Apparently, the concept of this band is that Ian was such a huge Mother Superior fan that for his 50th birthday, he wanted to form a band to play these songs. In all honesty, I really had high hopes for this album but then again, I remembered that I really didn\u2019t like Mother Superior to begin with all that much to begin with.<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s opening song \u201cA-Hole\u201d (how clever) just kind of came out at me like a big ol\u2019 pile of meh. It just sounded like generic hard rock music. It wasn\u2019t horrible but it just didn\u2019t move me. The next song, \u201cThis Song Reminds Me of You\u201d was a bit better but again, I just didn\u2019t feel connected or even moved by it. In all honesty, I love Jim Wilson\u2019s voice and I love his guitar playing. The band plays really well and it\u2019s cool to hear these metal dudes all dialing it back to play a more groove oriented style but at the end of the day, those things just don\u2019t matter if you don\u2019t have truly great, memorable songs.<\/p>\n

Motor Sister\u2019s album is easily the most forgettable album I will hear all year. As a matter of fact, the album was so forgettable that I listened to it straight through once and I couldn’t tell you a thing about it. I listened to it a 2nd time and while it didn’t suck, it just didn\u2019t leave me feeling like I\u2019d heard something truly magical or special. It just sounded like a band playing a bunch of songs and that\u2019s all. Motor Sister\u2019s Ride just didn’t do much more than not suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
