SIXONEOSIX
Reset
(-)

I?ve really tried to like SixOneOSix but no matter how I twisted and turned this disc it still turned up on the wrong side of me liking it. There?s something about Reset that rubs me the wrong way. It pains me to say this but the last time I reviewed a SixOneOSix I even got their name wrong. I forgot one O in the name. Which seem to happen a lot from what I?ve read. If that has anything to do with the music being so middle of the road or if the name by itself is hard to remember I'll leave for later. There are some redeeming moments, moments that make me think of Danzig but they are too few and too far between to make this anything but uninteresting.

SIXONESIX
God Told Me

Anything is better than being anonymous. Be it that you sound too much like any other band, you still make an impression. But just being anonymous. There's no fate worse than that. Being anonymous means that you're in the background, that you're the background, that you're part of the mise-en-scene. Unfortunately that?s the impression I get from listening to Swedish SixOneSix's new demo"God Told Me". This is so anonymous that I have a hard time figuring out what it reminds me of. It did start out promising with a stroke of melancholy but it soon turned into something completely different. I?ve tried to listen to this cd in different environments hoping that it would give me something but every time it left me with the same impression; it needs improvements in the "hook-me-up"-department.
