Chickenhawk: A. Or Not? (EP)

Progressive Metal

Rating: 2.5/5.0

Brew Records

Review: Ethan Hartranft,  08.23.2009

Chickenhawk's EP A. Or Not? contains only 3 songs so this review will be much shorter. 'I Hate This, Do You Like This?' is a mix of a very upbeat tempo and cookie monster style vocals on the choruses. The other two songs on the EP are about the same. The guitar work doesn't do anything noticeably special. However, the drums are excellent throughout A. Or Not?.

Although I can't judge from an EP alone, my expectations are low for a full release by Chickenhawk. While A. Or Not? is only a taste of what's to come, I can't say I'm very excited.
