Here to kick ass in a fast edged -yet light hearted- rock ramble; The Karma Heart’s debut doesn’t tell you any lies. Honesty is best the medicine for our ears right now. Whether we like it or not, having truth right now is something that we could all cope with.
We are not getting this where it counts; so the least we can have is the entertainment in our lives being as pure and straightforward with us as possible and The Karma Heart are straight down the middle about what they are. What does that mean? It means they are not a confused cross-genre band trying so very hard not to be defined; waving a flag of originality like a bunch of confused teens that incidentally end up being the same as each other. Nope. Not a jot of it. This is pretty direct as rock can be.
The album sadly does not begin with their strongest effort. But it isn’t long until things pick up. “Gravitate” is a good example strong vocal work and engrossing riffs – if anything is going to get a crowd or even the casual CD listener excited about the content it is here.
And from here it continues in pleasing form without too many shocks or surprises along the way – it is an admirable debut album. “Comin’ Undone” serves to show off front woman Jen’s vocal talent range towards the end of the album. In the end you have 11 tracks of rock that doesn’t bullshit around trying to be too clever. Which with so many smart arses around is a welcome return to the “Norm” as opposed to the constant trick players out there.
