No Time To Waste is the debut album by Simple Lies, young band with high hopes, sounding halfway between the hard chrome of the glorious 80s and a more modern American heavy metal matrix, with a touch of rock to scan decorate the result. A hybrid of classic sounds and other more up to date, an ideal intersection of looks and intentions between Mötley Crüe, Black Label Society, Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry and Hardcore Superstar.
Technically proficient and prepared some perplexity leave only the songwriting is not always sharp, and the vocals, which sometimes give the impression of not having to scratch where would own a touch of class to embellish certain passages. The production (by Roberto Priori, who with his six-string contributes to the slow “Like An Angel”) is perfect for the genre and succeeds in making each instrument, highlighting pieces that they would be standing by yourself like “How Does It Feel ? “,” No Love to Waste “and” 1 2 3 Fear! “deadly triplet placed in sequence in the middle disk is like a loose cannon and drag hopeless all’headbanging more rampant. Unfortunately, not all the songs reach this level of quality, in fact, the final there is a sharp drop in style with the three tracks that make up the mini-suite “Novel Of Sorrow”, which despite the presence of Fabio Dessi (Arthemis, Golden Sextion) on the closing “Here in This Nightmare” really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Highs and lows for this debut, which in any case a prevalence of the first, but in the future it is fair to expect more from Simple Lies, for surely the ability to do the best they have.
