CD REVIEW: IN THIS MOMENT – Sick Like Me [Single]

Label: Atlantic Records

Release Date: September 9, 2014

Rating: 10/10

Reviewed by: Todd “Toddstar” Jolicoeur

Singles are a soft spot for me, as you typically get your hands on the latest and greatest from a band along with another sample from an upcoming disc.  The latest from In This Moment is no different.  Lead off single “Sick Like Me” builds on the sound of the bands previous singles.  Ever growing in their sound and production, Maria, Chris, and the rest of the guys really turned it up a notch this time out.  The heavy twin guitar attack from Howorth and Randy Weitzel accentuate the track from beginning to end.  Brinks’ vocals are better and stronger than the last outing.  What would be the b-side, “Big Bad Wolf” is a bit heavier on the electronic side, but the pounding bass from Travis Johnson and heavy drums courtesy of Tom Hane build a killer background and anchor for this track that really gives Maria room to spread her wings and show another side of her vocal talents.  If these two tracks, along with the recently released “Sex Metal Barbie” are any indication, we just may have a contender for best of 2014 on our hands when the full disc drops on November 18, 2014.
