| Flotsam & Jetsam - Drift Band: Flotsam & Jetsam Tracks: - Me - Empty Air - Pick A Window - 12 Year Old With A Gun - Missing - Blindside - Remember - Destructive Signs - Smoked Out - Poet's Tell smokin' album Flo-Jet is one of the most unique thrash bands ever... and Drift may be thier best-ever effort( although Cuatro may be just as good). i saw them Live twice on the tour supporting Drift, one of these shows was at a small club. you could really tell these guys were proud of the work they did on this album (Drift), and they really had something to be proud of!.... it was one of the best times i've ever had. This album does'nt have a bad note on it.... and i consider it one of my top 5 favorite albums ever... thrash on guys! Clean Metal This is a must-have for every metal fan. Every song on this cd is awesome.<BR> "12 Yr. Old With A Gun", "Smoked Out" and "Poet's Tell" are my favorites from this release.<BR> "Me" is a powerful intro to the cd, going back and forth with a driving rhythm and power chords. <BR> Like many tracks on this cd, "Empty Air" is a bass-driven masterpiece. <BR> "Pick A Window" is one of the mellower tracks, yet not mellow by any standard..."Pick a window 'cause now your leavin'".<BR> The title for track 4 sums up the song pretty well...children killing children: "12 Yr. Old With A Gun"<BR> "Missing" would be the ballad, I am guessing. Very catchy, and very cool...I don't generally like ballads.<BR> Unlike most cd's, this one gets better as the cd proceeds. The cd never weakens or loses you. "Blindside" and "Remember" have awesome guitar, as usual, and will kick your [rear]!!<BR> "Destructive Signs" is probably my least favorite on this cd...I didn't say I didn't like it. There's a very cool acoustic guitar part that shows their versatility as musicians.<BR> The cd closes with 2 of My Favorite tracks. "Smoked Out" is just that...SMOKIN'!! "Poet's Tell" is a brilliant closer. I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I like about this track, but it's a great song.<BR> All the songs have awesome lead breaks and sound great....every instrument can be heard clearly and the voice is mixed perfectly. I thought the voice was overpowering on "When The Storm Comes Down". "Drift" and "High" are, in my opinion, F & J's best. If you've never heard them, just go buy it!! This Shoulda been The ONE!!! When I first finished listening to this disc, I figured this was the disc that was going to propel FloJet into the 'Metallica-like' area of superstardom but for some reason it was lost on the public. The songwriting is superb, the production flawless and the whole thing just works! "Me" starts off hard and "Empty Air" sounding huge, this album is clearly their best. This seemed to be a perfect blend of commercial viability while still retaining their integrity. Heros in my book!!
