On their Myspace Profile Enlow features streaming MP3s of two tracks from The Recovery, "Calling Out the Oppressor" and "Taking Chances". Occasionally you will get a gentle tease of some melody, but for the most part, prepare yourself to be screamed at from the top of their lungs.
The CD is produced by Stephen Egerton, famous for his work with MXPX, Less Then Jake, and his own band, The Descendants. Having read that before I put the CD in the player, I expected a bit more. Was it a matter of me setting the bar too high? I don't think so. I usually try to stay pretty open minded and listen to a CD several times before writing a review. Before penning this, I tried . . . I really tried, but in practice I could only take a few tracks at a time before I just had to turn it off.
The Recovery is Enlow's second CD, and actually the band has been reformed between this and their first release The Desperate Letters (both released on the Blood and Ink label).
