Down A River


Thanks again to the guys of Dinosaur Eyelids for sending me their new CD!
In may last year I've posted the first album called Winter Solstice by Dinosaur Eyelids. Now I'm honored to offer you their second album called Down A River. This album is a logical follow-up to the first album. Down A River contains fourteen nice tracks of Stoner and Grunge influenced Alternative Rock. The album kicks off with the great song Maelstrom Of Malevolence. This album sounds very good. It is well produced. All instruments sound outstanding and are in good balance. The singer does like on the first album a great job. This guy is blessed with a fantastic voice.
In terms of songs, this album is very balanced. There is next to the heavier songs also room for some quiet songs.
This is all in all a very good album. If you have appreciated the first album, then I think you will also like this album. My personal favorites are: Maelstrom Of Malevolence, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Nibiru, Blood Beat and Freedom Is A Word. Enjoy!

Dinosaur Eyelids is alternative rock for a new generation. Based in New Brunswick, NJ the band has earned a reputation for their incendiary live performances. Their debut album “Winter Solstice” was released in December 2009 on itunes and Amazon. They play regularly and are house favorites at The Court Tavern in New Brunswick. They also perform regularly at The Stone Pony (Asbury Park), North Star (Philadelphia), Arlene’s Grocery (NYC), Fontana’s (NYC), Bar East (NYC), The Fire (Philadelphia) and Championship’s (Trenton). Their sound is like The Replacements being molested by Soundgarden.

Dinosaur Eyelids.


Thanks to the guys from Dinosaur Eyelids for sending their CD!
Dinosaur Eyelids is a band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. These guys play Alternative Rock with Stoner and Grunge infuences. At their MySpace Dinosaur Eyelids claims to be influenced by the following: Jimi Hendrix, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, John Coltrane, The Who, Kyuss, Tom Petty and Lou Reed. The singer does remind me somehow of Neil Young. Their debut album Winter Solstice is a great one. Listen to the riff of the title track, it is awesome! Just like the other songs. My favorite is the last track Waves, a typical song to end an album. It starts subdued and ends in a great climax. Another great song is Know How To Die, that starts with a nice acapella intro. And Modal Realism has a riff that sticks in your head for the rest of the day.
Dinosaur Eyelids played a lot of shows in the state of New Jersey and the cities New York and Philadelphia. I hope these guys will visit Europe someday!
Enjoy Winter Solstice and support these guys!
