Green River - Come On Down
Review by Denny Batubara
Green River's Come On Down album is a gritty, raw, and uncompromising collection of songs that showcase the band's unique sound and style. From the opening track "Come On Down" to the closing number "Swallow My Pride," the album is a relentless assault on the senses, with heavy riffs, pounding drums, and intense vocals that leave a lasting impression.
The band's punk and metal influences are evident throughout the album, with songs like "Queen Bitch" and "Ain't Nothing to Do" delivering a high-energy dose of punk rock attitude. Meanwhile, tracks like "Baby Takes" and "Ozzie" showcase the band's more experimental side, with intricate guitar work and atmospheric soundscapes.
