Jamey Jasta solo album is an interesting listen. It does conquer some uncharted territory for Jasta that he doesn't explore in Hatebreed or Kingdom Of Sorrow. There are a lot of melodic influences on this record. Jasta's use of clean vocals are an odd, but effective touch. At first, I was kind of taken back by his use of clean vocals, but it grew on me. It showed a different side of Jasta's vocals and I dug it. Don't worry Jasta fans, this isn't an entirely melodic affair. There is still plenty of heavy material on here. The best tracks on here are the heavier stuff."Walk That Path Alone" is a face-melter of an opener. It's very fast and has a definite thrash vibe. It's easily the fastest song Jasta has ever done vocals on. There is also some great guest artists on here. Everyone from Randy Blythe to Zakk Wylde appear on this record (the track with Blythe on it "Enslaved, Dead, or Depraved", is one of the best on here.) Jasta is able to make good use out of the plethora of diverse guest artists on here. Every guest spot adds to the quality of the song.
Jamey Jasta does a solid job with his solo record. It shows the different sides and influences that he has. He is able to pull off everything from thrashy tracks to very melodic tracks with ease. He is able to make excellent use of many guest artists that add to the quality of the record. As a fan of Jasta, this was a pretty cool record to listen to. It shows off his vast array of influences and gives you a good idea of his musical background.
