 Pretty good Feb 07, 2010
Popish female led melodic metal. That is how to describe Halestorm. Lucky for me I like that. Yes, it may sound like it is pushed to be more mainstream than other bands but how can you fault them. A band with no sales is not going to be a band for that long. "I Get Off" is my favorite track. Makes me want to run around my house in the buff and open the blinds while my dog tries to contain his laughter. "Bet U Wish U Had Me Back" is my second favorite but, what is this a text message? Song title with U instead of "You" got old when Prince did it in the 80's. The song sounds like a hard rock country song. I expect to hear Taylor Swift singing it on her next album. Personally, I like songs that can be reworked and done in different genres. I think it says a lot about the song and the writing.
If you like stuff like Nightwish, Within Temptation, After Forever you will probably like this. It is like those bands but not as serious.
 What a Great CD! Feb 04, 2010
I have quite a collection of CD's and the Hailstorm CD is one of the best. It has a fantastic lead singer and it rocks! I am definitely recommending this to anyone who likes great lyrics, rythym, and rockin' music. I look forward to buying another CD from the group and adding it to my collection. A definite AAA+ to rock lovers!
Awesome rockin' band Jan 31, 2010
I previewed the tunes on this CD when I found out they were opening for Theory of a Deadman at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I liked what I heard so I bought the CD. My boyfriend and I both listened to this CD MANY times prior to hearing them in concert and have LOVED it. They also did not disappoint in concert--do not miss them if you have the chance!
A Definite Must Buy Dec 23, 2009
I found out about Hailstorm reading Revolver magazine. After listening to their music online I ordered their CD and haven't stopped listening to it since I got it. The vocals are amazing and the guitar work in the songs is very solid. Check out their videos on Youtube. Lzzy is able to hit and sustain notes better than some of the best hard rock singers out there and do it live without multiple studio takes. I am heavily into Metal/Punk/Rock, I play guitar myself, and I really like their fusion of a vintage pop metal style with a more modern grunge / heavy sound. The guitar leads are simple and to the point, well composed overall. It's interesting to listen to a band that tunes down with the rhythm guitar tuned lower than the lead guitar by a minor third.
Great Female-Fronted Band Dec 19, 2009
Really surprising to find in 2009, A great melodic hard-rock/metal band on a MAJOR LABEL without all of the modern, trendy flavor. This is the type of quality rock that would have been huge back in the late 80's/early 90's, blues-edged pop-metal scene (It's a modern production, but just good old-fashioned hard rock n roll). Great listen! EXCELLENT SINGER! CATCHY AS HECK with STRONG songwriting, TIGHT musicianship & GREAT production. Really solid throughout with "Love/Hate Heartbreak", "Innocence", "Familiar Taste of Poison", "It's Not You" & "I'm Not An Angel" my top 5. It's commercial, but PERFECTLY crafted & rock solid enough to recommend to ALL hard-rock fans (Regardless of era or sub-genre).
Highly Recommended!
