A busy day of reviews culminates with Jumping Jack's album Trucks & Bones. The band sound like Metallica well later era Metallica they use some Tool, Disturbed and myriad of other current metal bands sounds to try to fuse their own. All that does is show how pathetic they are because they have nothing personal to draw from only copy all the cool kids that came before them adding nothing new or original to their sound. The songs all sound the same with the exact same guitar tone on every track nearly the same pace on every track as well.
I honestly couldn't tell you one song that was good because after a minute of track one I don't think a new song started or the first has ended yet. Another good song title though "Drunk Peanut" is cool too bad its probably lame because I can't remember what it sounded like and I honestly don't give a shit either. I do know it had some bad vocals shouting or shrieking and a bland distortion on the guitar and of course it has some pounding of a plodding rhythm.
The band look like they might be Mexican probably given their cactus/desert artwork of lameness. The best thing about Jumping Jack is their name and hopefully someone else in a few years that doesn't suck can steal the name and attach it to something cool.
