+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| Having introduced the 2.0 version of Tantric on record with 2008's The |
| End Begins (with founding members and ex-Days of the New members Todd |
| Whitener, Jesse Vest, and Matt Taul all having become ex-members of |
| Tantric too), lead singer Hugo Ferreira doesn't seem to have felt there |
| was any reason to wait the usual three years before releasing another |
| album, and so Mind Control follows only 15 months later. (And really, in |
| the music business environment of the 2000s, in which the sales life of |
| an album is much abbreviated from previous decades, why not?) His backup |
| musicians may have been replaced since 2007 (and the drum chair has now |
| passed to a third man, Richie Monica, with Marcus Ratzenboeck joining on |
| electric violin), but Ferreira still positions Tantric squarely in the |
| post-grunge tradition of peers like System of a Down, Linkin Park, and, |
| especially, Nickelback, placing his sonorous, husky baritone over tracks |
| that sometimes border on heavy metal, but usually retain a melodic hard |
| rock flavor. He sneaks in some of his own piano playing, notably on the |
| intro and outro to "Coming Undone," and gives some rein to guitarist Joe |
| Pessia, who does Eddie Van Halen-style shredding on "Coming Undone"; |
| contributes attractive acoustic work on the power ballad "The Past Is |
| the Past"; and enjoys his own showcase on the guitar interlude |
| "Intermezzo," when he isn't simply crunching big riffs. So, there are at |
| least hints that Ferreira and his new bandmates have ambitions beyond |
| their genre, but there are also some more potential entries in |
| Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart here. |
