The Chariot - The Fiancé (Solid State)
After what seems like forever and a few line up changes, The Chariot are
back with their second full length The Fiancé. Although only their third
release, this is by far the best album that The Chariot have put out and is
Josh Scogin’s best vocal output since he was still in Norma Jean. This album
has everything from choirs singing to harmonicas to Scogin letting out a few
Jonathan Davis esque screams/growls. The clean and feedback free sound on
this album set this album apart from the last few releases. Although the
sound is cleaner and more organized, the brutality is still there. Clocking
in at just under thirty minutes, this album does lack some substance and
leaves the listening wanting more. There are a lot of songs on this album
that could have been so much more, seeing as most of them are under three
minutes. Despite the short length, this is still a solid record. Check this
out if you are into their older material, Norma Jean, and getting dirty.
