The intro song is 90 seconds of birds, chimes, and acoustic guitar, leading me to optimistically believe that Fickle play in a style of Hemispheres or A Farewell to Kings-era Rush. I was even waiting for that patented Rush Kick(tm)*.

Unfortunately, the band plays lame commercial rock. Good musicianship saves them from being a bland Creed clone, but not by much. And they are beyond cheesy. I think the ballady “541 Minutes” actually made my penis permanently shrink an inch.

*The patented Rush Kick is when a long period of quiet music stops suddenly, there’s like two or three seconds of silence, and then BAM! AN AWESOME AURAL ATTACK OF RAWWWWK! God, I love Rush.

Bottom Line: Polished radio rock for people with no taste.
