Review : HALESTORM – “ReAniMate: The CoVeRs eP”

May 022011

Halestorm – ReAniMate: The CoVeRs eP
Release: 2011Mar22 (US)
Label: Atlantic
Rating: 2/5

Halestorm performs dutifully, structured in rota,
Pub-level tunes beautifully, just enough to meet quota.
Lzzy is fine with her vocal impressions,
But the music lacks needed bite and aggression,
And don’t improve upon originals one iota.

FCC: 4
Try “Slave to the Grind”, then grind to a halt.
