SOS – Adult Situations
316 Productions
(3.5/5)
Combining a fist-pumping style of Rock with some of the speed and techniques of Punk, SOS’s newest album Adult Situations is an album for fans of both worlds! Personally, I think the overall sound on Adult Situations leans a bit too far on the Punk side, but the combination of that Punk edge and the groovy style of Rock presented in the 12-tracks on this album sounds pretty good for the most part. Tracks I would recommend are “Wasteland Temptress” (Track 5), “Hypoxyphilia” (Track 6), “Frames” (Track 7), and “Life of Love and Peace and Harmony” (Track 11). My favorite track from the whole album is probably “Wasteland Temptress” because it starts off in a typical Punk style, but eventually drops into a Rock groove that is similar to the style of bands such as Corrosion of Conformity and Fireball Ministry. It just has a good Stoner metal feel to it. “Hypoxyphilia” is another track that sort of strays from the Punk style for the most part and really showcases Adam Mastrosimone’s bass playing and shows a more melodic side of SOS’s song writing. Overall, I think Adult Situations is a good album that outlines a “controlled chaos” type of feel that can be enjoyed by Rock fans and Punk fans alike.
