Album Review

The late '90s have seen a plethora of alternative bands that rediscovered the decade's earlier Seattle bands (Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, etc.). Groups such as Creed, Days of the New, and Godsmack have adopted this angst-ridden musical style as their own, and while Atlanta's Doubledrive is comparable to the aforementioned band, they aren't ashamed of their metal roots, which they display throughout their 1999 MCA-debut, 1000 Yard Stare. Troy McLawhorn's guitar riffing and drummer Mike Froedge's hard-hitting style are key elements, as well as Donnie Hamby' s vocals (comparable to Candlebox's Kevin Martin at times). With a straightforward production (courtesy of the band itself), 1000 Yard Stare contains many tracks that fit perfectly into the late-'90s alt-radio format — such as the title track, "Dressed in Light," "Smaller," "Sacrifice," and the softer "Reason." With grunge sounds resurfacing, Doubledrive should have no problem breaking through. [Note: the CD version comes with a multimedia section complete with band bio and pix.]

Customer Reviews

Why aren't these guys huge?!?

Released only a couple of years after Creed's debut, this album IMO is almost as good. They sound very similar to Creed in fact, heavy riffs, melodic vocals. Check out songs, "1000 Yard Stare" and "Dressed in Light". Only thing wrong with the iTunes version is you miss out on the hidden track, a re-make of "Mexican Radio", which is actually pretty good.

Awesome

The decade that started with Pearl Jam's Ten ends with an awesome album. 1000 Yard stare is a classic.

This album is solid

I saw these guys in concert with Quennsryche In Salt Lake City Back in 99 And bought the album The next day and waited 3 years for the next album I' worn out two copies of 1000 yard I love how heavy DD sounds Mixed with the alternating vocals It all harmonizes so well together I hope to see a new album soon
