Reviewer: Eric
The Cotton Soeterboek Band is trying to redefine the rock and roll genre with
their modern twist on things. Twisted is the bands first full length
album and the music scene is already saying great things about the band. Is
everything you hear true or are these guys still too early in their career?
If you have been listening to mainstream rock music then there is a good chance
that you haven’t heard of The Cotton Soeterboek Band. Fans of old and modern
rock music will find a lot that you’ll enjoy. Influences from all around the
world are on Twisted, which is the way a true rock and roll music should
be because rock music has so many different sounds across the globe.
Throw in the best from Whitesnake and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with some Deep Purple, and
you got The Cotton Soeterboek Band. More modern rock albums from Ayreon and Iced
Earth can be heard on Twisted as well, giving it that sound that should please
new fans to rock music. When all of this is added together you get this kind of
music that has this great vibe, something you really can’t hear too much when
some up and coming bands copy off of their favorite bands.
With the instrumentation on this album you will open your mind to a whole new
world. Some of the tracks sounded like they could have used more time, mainly
with some intense solos. There is a lot of talent in this band and I would hate
to see it be wasted with songs that don’t even hit the 4 minute mark.
Final Verdict
For their first full length I think The Cotton Soeterboek Band did a nice job.
Twisted has the sound that will please fans of rock and roll music from its
early years, but at the same time it will also please new fans. I really hope
next time the band tries to extend their songs with some solos, other than that
everything else can stay the same.
