Our band is named No Good Reason. We are a groove metal band. We get told a lot that we sound like a cross between Alice In Chains and Pantera. Anyway, let us know what YOU think.

It has all the prerequisites for heavy metal; the voice, the chunky guitars, the guitar solo.  The drums are well played, though in places the guitars overwhelm them.  All in all, this is metal, and it's fairly well produced.  There are several metal experts here that will give you a more in depth review, but I like the songs, and your a tweak or two away from the upper echelon.

Wow, Lynn! Thanks for the compliments. I really appreciate that. I've been listening to them on several different systems over the last few days and I agree that I need to knock the guitars down a little bit. Since I am the guitarist AND the engineer, that tends to happen a little. :) Hearing it from other people helps put it into perspective a little more as well. Thanks again!!!
