Savage's Review:
Motive has been tearing up the scene since June 1999 with their brand of hardcore thrash. They have shared the stage with national heavyweights such as Testament, Suicidal Tendencies, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Nile, Arch Enemy, Flotsam and Jetsam, Machinehead and others. Their most recent major accomplishment was a spot at the famed Milwaukee Metalfest.Worn Down Dream is loaded with old school riffing that is sure to please the most fickle metalheads. I hear a lot of early Slayer style guitar solos and drumming, especially on "Worlds Away." They also have a few Sabbathian moments mixed amid their chaotic ensemble. Check out "We Were Faded" to see where I'm coming from.
Motive delivers pure perfection and has resurrected what's missing from today's metal: the guitar solo! They successfully blend the best elements of thrash, speed, hardcore and death for one helluva metal salad!
Steve's vocal stylings alternate between the "I smoke too many cigarettes" rasp to "I swallowed the cookie monster and he wants to get out" growls to the "I've yelled so much my throat hurts" scream. It's all here and it's done remarkably well.
I can't find anything negative to say about this CD and have to wonder why these guys have yet to find a label. I guess when the consumers get off their asses and start buying real metal music again and the nu metal boat finally sinks, Motive with be on the frontline for the old school revolution waving the banner proudly!
