It Could Have Been Great

12 Stones latest album, Beneath the Scars, has a great hard rock sound that has been tuned and refined over the years. While this sound does yeild some great rock songs on the album, it just feels a bit boring and a tad generic. What's good about the album is that the lyrics are really straight-forward and can get dark during some songs. This is done to service the overall message of the album and it's done really well. The main problem with the album overall is the pacing. After the high octane opening the rest of the album falls into a pattern of ballad song and rock song until the conclusion. By doing this, it made the album kind of a bore to listen too. I like where the guys in the band are coming from and the straight up rock songs are really good, but the pacing of this album killed the excitement for me and made what could have been an above average rock album into just an average one.
