(5 Customer Reviews)
Because Brand New Sin singer Joe Altier's tuneful growling style rings quite similar to that of many a mid-2000s commercial hard rock singer (Scott Stapp and Chad Kroeger, to name but two), some listeners may hastily and unfairly dismiss this Syracuse quintet as yet another face in an already mundane crowd. But just a little bit of patience will be enough to prove that Brand New Sin and their second album, 2005's Recipe for Disaster, actually offer a whole lot more; typical, barn-burning tracks like "Arrived," "Days Are Numbered," or the excellent "The Loner" more accurately falling somewhere between Corrosion of Conformity (yes!), Black Label Society (hmmm?), and, yes, a little bit of Nickelback, too (ugh!). And yet, this is only the tip of the group's iceberg lettuce, and Recipe for Disaster continues to impress following irresistibly frenetic EP favorite "Black and Blue," which paves the way for increasingly formula-free material such as the tom-on-the-floor, acoustic guitar-strummed "Running Alone," the darker-tinged, more dramatic flair of "Vicious Cycles," and, combining the two strains, a pair of heartfelt love songs in "Once in a Lifetime" and "Wyoming." Hardly completely without fault, however, Recipe for Disaster's second half does stall on a few too many stock hard rockers; guitarists Kenny Dunham's and Kris Wiechmann's riffs and solos, while never anything less than interesting, are rarely unforgettable; and claims of the band's deep absorption of Southern rock are most definitely overstated. And still the final balance shows Brand New Sin's sophomore outing to be a fine one, with more than enough high-water marks to counter the lows, and more than enough sheer "rawk" gumption to stand out from the cookie-cutter radio rockers out there. [Recipe for Disaster's multimedia section contains a promo video for album highlight "Black and Blue," which, though professionally produced, proves that Brand New Sin's gnarly, hairy biker look won't be making them into teen pinups anytime soon.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Brand New Sin: Joe Altier (vocals); Kenny Dunham, Kris Wiechmann (guitar); Chuck Kahl (bass instrument); Kevin Dean (drums).

Great Rock n Roll Music Great CD with old school hard rock
in the vein of AC/DC, Black Sabbath and BLS. The guitar riffs are excellent, and most of the songs are
great. If you're driving, crank it up and enjoy it. Submitted by Marcelo (Bronx,NY) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Great tunes to rock your summer and beyond This is the type of old school hard rock
you've waited a long time to hear. All
the great elements of exciting guitar
riffs, pounding backbeat of the drums
and bluesy, gritty vocals will make you
gather your friends and take a roadtrip to see this band this summer (or fall if
you are in Europe) Submitted by Kathy (Syracuse, NY USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Big Step Forward I held off getting Recipe For Disaster for probably eight months. i liked "Black 'n' Blue" and "Days Are Numbered,' but was underwhelmed by BNS's 2002 debut, and didn't want to be blowing $15 on another mediocre CD with three standout tracks. I'm glad I finally bought it though, because Recipe is a big step forward for the band. There's much more variety from song to song than on the first album, and more of the songs distinguish themselves as well. Good to hear they got rid of the unnecessary third guitarist, as he didn't really add much. The two remaining guitarists generally favor noise over technical skill in the solos, but usually, that's not a detriment. The drums are mixed in a little low for my taste, even lower than on the debut, but Joe Altier changes things up vocally a lot more than he did the first time out. My only real gripe is that some songs, like "Arrived," "The Loner," and to a lesser extent "Freight Train" are too repetitive, in some cases with the first and second verses being nearly identical but for a word or two, and endlessly repeating, choruses ("Don't forget your past! You've arrived at last!" bellowed at least one billion times). But then songs like "Black 'n' Blue"" 'Another Reason," "Runnin' Alone," "Days Are Numbered," "Brown Street Betty" and the mournful "Wyoming," make it all worth it. I had "Runnin' Alone' stuck in my head for four days after one listen. Submitted by Fizz (Delmarva) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 0 of 1 found this helpful.
