Rage Against The Machine Biffy Clyro These are 2 good bands. They are good bands because although at times you can see their influences you can't really say who they sound like. They are good bands partly because they sound like that's the noise that comes out when they go to make noise. Djevara sound like they really like Biffy Clyro and Rage Against The Machine. They sound like they really want to sound like Biffy Clyro and Rage Against The Machine. In fact one of their number can do a very convincing Zac De La Roca. I do not want this from a band. Nor do I want preachy spoken word introductions that aren't written very well and songs which go on and on for over 6 minutes looping the same phrase. Also one of the songs sounds a bit like Fugazi...but it rips off a chord progression from another song so it can't be Fugazi (if Fugazi have ripped anything off, I couldn't tell and that makes a big difference). I have these things when I listen to this record and it really really detracts from the good ideas that are on this record. I keep listening to it and I really want to like it, however I can't get past all of the above. In the week when I read about Bullet For My Valentine saying that they will take over from Metallica and then listening to an album that is 26 years old top anything that BFMV have ever done (Ride the Lightning), I really want to hear someone who stands out.
