SAINT VITUS BORN TOO LATE reviews

Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
The first Saint Vitus album with the infamous Wino on vocals is a marked improvement over Hallow's Victim, the band leaning a bit more on the Sabbath influence than the Pentagram this time around and in addition developing their own individual sound a bit more. The opening title track is some wonderfully slow and sludgy doom metal, setting a standard that the rest of the album admirably follows. Despite the lyrics of said track being based around nostalgia and the band's feelings of being unfashionable throwbacks, the album was in fact their most original to date, and is a groundbreaking landmark of the sludgier stoner end of doom metal.

I like slow and brooding 80s doom metal, but Born Too Late just isn't...good. This album just comes off "weak, limp and boring" - as another reviewer said. With the exception of the title track, the songs all repeat the same stale riff with the same lackluster vocals and unmemorable squealing guitar solos. Not to mention the bad guitar and drum sound.

The title track manages to be fairly memorable and even enjoyable, but even that song suffers from the many of the same weaknesses as the others. I cannot understand why Born Too Late is considered a doom metal classic. I won't be returning to this album and I might not even bother to check out Saint Vitus's other stuff.
