Album Review

Occupying the middle ground between Evanescence’s moody metal and Paramore’s punchy pop, Hanging on by a Thread presents the Letter Black as the latest in a long line of female-fronted hard rock acts. On tracks like “All I Want,” the group sounds downright vicious, with bombshell vocalist Sarah Anthony pitching her vocals over palm-muted power chords, cymbal crashes, and the occasional string orchestra. The group has roots in the church, though, and most of these songs are more melodic than metallic, drawing upon Anthony’s experience as a praise team leader for maximum singalong potential. Throughout it all, the Letter Black plays with Christian themes without explicitly flaunting their own religion, resulting in an album that targets church-going listeners without alienating those who are turned off by such things.

Customer Reviews

tlb v. fireflight?

i really don't understand these reviews bashing one band or the other, they are separate bands so they are going to be different, and people will have different opinions, but bashing fireflight on a review for a tlb album? really? there's no need for that.

As for the review on this album, it's great! Thanks TLB! Can't wait for the other two :)

Fire

Shes cute, so I watched it on mute.

Winning

The Letter Black is a very good band, I've followed them since they were known as Breaking The Silence and I'm happy to see where they're headed. I do NOT choose to compare them to Fireflight, both are good bands with their pros and cons. I'm happy to see what TLB is doing and their future is nothing short of epic. They are indeed, winning.
