  • "The Strange Case Of..." Album Review By Metalholic Magazine (9.2 Score)

    For The Strange Case Of…, the Pennsylvania quartet once again tapped fellow statesman Howard Benson (Saliva, Seether, Theory of A Deadman, Daughtry) to produce. The band wrote some 56 songs for the album, of which they recorded 17, 11 of which made the standard edition. Of course it’s strongly recommended you invest in the deluxe edition.

    Those fearing a sophomore slump can rest easy. For The Strange Case Of… is merely further proof of the band’s immense future. Where the band’s self-titled album was a near perfect debut, The Strange Case Of… finds Halestorm taking risks, diversifying its signature, and expanding its sonic palette. This is a good thing. Though broader in scope than its predecessor it never strays so far as to lose continuity.

    Throughout the album, frontwoman Lzzy Hale tries to explain, via song, her split persona. From the tough as nails rocker, to the avalanche inducing voice, to the sultry siren luring hearts upon the rocks, to the introspective and vulnerable girl next door. So strap in for the entrancing journey. Songs like “Here’s To Us”, “Love Bites (So Do I)”, “I Miss The Misery”, “Beautiful In You” and “Freak Like Me” are all poised to take Halestorm to the next level…or three.

    Rating 9.2/10
