Review
Got out to a great start with Sleep Apnea. It provided a good taste of what Chevelle is about (hard rock, good vocal range). Jars was a great choice for the first single, as it is probably the best song on the album. Highland's Apparition provided a slower song, as Chevelle has done in the past with Bend the Bracket and One Lonely Visitor. They have put an acoustic song on three out of thier five albums. I can't justify putting a song like Interlewd on an album with only 11 songs, but I degress. Went out with a bang as well, as This Circus picked up where Saturdays left off on Vena Sera. Overall, a very solid album, but not quite what I was expecting.
Grade: 7.3/10
