Being the fan of Symphony X that I am this album is something I've been anticipating for awhile. I love the man's voice and I was curious to see what he would do with an album of his own. I am happy to see that with this album he branches out and doesn't just try to recreate what's already been done in Symohony X. A smart move I would say. The music on this album does not even remotely resemble anything he's ever done with SX.
What we have here is just a straight up blast of retro 70s stoner rock. Tons of blues based grooves grace this album with a definete catchy heaviness and Russell's voice fits this style rather perfectly. His more aggressive vocals give this album a heavy kick and his softer deliveries give the album a good chill out and smoke a bone feel. Very enjoyable. Anyone into stoner metal should eat this up. Recommended especially to fans of bands like Sixty Watt Shaman and later-era Cathedral & Trouble. Looking forward to hearing more of Russell Allen's Atomic Soul.
Highlights: Blackout, Voodoo Hand, Seasons Of Insanity
Rating - 3.5/5
