As we get the week started, I thought we could take a look at an album that didn’t get as much love as it should have when it came out. The band is COLD and we’re going to talk about their third album, released in 2003, called “Year of The Spider.”
Now, it does have arguably their most well known song on it – Stupid Girl (ft. Rivers Cuomo of Weezer). So you might be thinking, how could this be an overlooked gem? Well, after all these years, COLD still doesn’t get the attention they deserve.
They have developed their own very unique sound, delivering A+ albums time after time again.
Vocalist Scooter Ward has his own very distinct voice that easily blends from melodic to near raspy screaming. The band always sounds polished and the songs seem carefully crafted. This album in particular doesn’t have a weak moment, which is a nice feat for studio release #3 for a band.
Let’s check out some standout moments, so you can get a sample of what you’re missing out on if you’re not familiar with this album or even band in general.
