Blossom have released their debut album, titled "Weight Of The World." This album is one that has a very metal feel to it. These guys really bring that heavy, growled vocal sound to their music. The band seems to have a bit of an Every Time I Die sound to them, with a knocked loose feel to them as well., so if you like either bands, you could like this album. They have done a decent job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album doesn't seem to be as clean sounding as it could be. Not sure if that was the intention or not. The instrumentation of the album seems to be pretty average. Average in that there just doesn't seem to be anything new in the playing or sound. This band can certainly play though. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are pretty much all screamed. You can get a pretty good idea of what they are singing about still though. When the clean vocals kick in, they are very short but not bad. We would say the screams could be better, but with a debut, that is not a bad job. With the lyrics, the band has decided to go for a very hardcore style of lyrics, singing about injustices and things happening in the world. They also go for more harsh songs telling people to quit complaining. We feel the band could of gone for lyrics more people could relate to more, but all in all, not a bad job. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Blossom have made a debut album that really brings the hardcore. Hopefully with a few tweaks and better vocal recording, we could get a truer picture of this band. We think the band did pretty well though. Now all that needs to be done is for the band to get out more and expose people to their music. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
